Green New Deal.
-> It is simply not possible to supply the whole US with renewable energy sources only while simultaneously abandoning coal, gas and nuclear power. Base load is not possible with volatile energy sources, and the currently developed forms of energy storage is either totally inefficient for large scales (batteries) or has severe impact on ecosystems (pumped-storage hydro power). Even the IPCC calculations show that in order to reach the 1.5 °C goal, energy generated by nuclear power has to be either remain steady or increase. I cannot support the Green New Deal in its form where the most efficient carbon-free energy source is excluded, but if the choice was between this and no climate legislation, I would rather choose the GND.
