"Climate change is a global emergency," Sen. Bernie Sanders declared, and on Thursday, he unveiled a $16.3 TRILLION plan -- that's Trillion with a "T," to fight climate change.
According to Sanders' campaign website, he aims to reach 100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 2030 and complete decarbonization by 2050 at latest. He would do this by "expanding the existing federal Power Marketing Administrations to build new solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources." A federal takeover, in other words.
The four existing federal Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs) include the Bonneville Power Administration; Western Area Power Administration;

I would think Sen Bernie Sanders' constituents would hide their heads in shame. What a greedy, lying doofus he is!

And that would be just the beginning of a whole series of takeovers, right Bernie? It always is.

This isn't a joke this kind of thinking is as great a danger as the world has ever faced. Our existence beyond subsistence farming is 100% dependent on relatively cheap energy. Take that energy away and how many of our 330 million people are capable of surviving? Are you ready to gamble that Bernie is a capable engineer? Only government, big totalitarian government has ever played with plans that will result in the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people.
Horseman party of four, your table is ready.

“According to Sanders' campaign website, he aims to reach 100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 2030....”
Does Bernie the Red mean that all the trucks and cars we currently use and the ones we plan on purchasing will either be unable to buy fuel in 10 years or simply be banned? Same question for aviation fuel consuming airplanes, diesel powered freight & passenger trains as well as ships and the tugs that move barges. And, does Bernie have an alternative for replacing all of these needed transportation systems by 2030?
The most frightening thing about Sanders is not him but the people who support him. See photo of the Chico, CA audience in article. Do they applaud his freedom destroying madness because they are unable to understand the consequences? Or, like Bernie, does their hatred for America, capitalism, success and most of all, individual freedom, overwhelm their common sense?

Solar powered Tanks and Planes? Offensives called on account of rain? Sander's Soviet style 10 year plan will work as well here as it did there.

A government takeover of "renewable energy" insures it will never produce anything more than it does right at this moment. Apologies to whomever..."To err is human, but if you really want to bollix up the works, turn the project over to a government agency!"

Us old men are supposed to have fantasies about something other than government, renewable energy, or communism! I think it proves that Bernie is beyond help.

And the introduction of massive bread lines and food lines for the starvation that would follow. Bernie left that out. He wants to be Lysenko of the old USSR. Just ask the Ukrainians what he did to them. If Bernie has his way, we will be Venezuela by 2030.

FTA:Sanders said his massive program would retrain oil rig workers and coal miners for green energy jobs.
My guess is these people don't want to climb atop a windmill to replace its bearings, or dust-off solar panels. They are cut-out for heavy, physical labor that pays well.

The democrats declare that Trump is a Nazi and an autocrat. Yet each democrat candidate has pledged if elected they would assume dictatorial powers and raise taxes, provide medicare for all, outlaw guns, throw Trump in jail, etc. I hope the majority of the American people are intelligent enough now to fall for this crap.

I wonder what kind of energy Bernie will use to power that $175,000 Audi R8 he drives, as he travels from house to beach house and back.

Bernie Sanders' dream is Soviet style totalitarianism here in the USA. He was a huge fan of the soviet system, honeymooned in the Soviet Union.
Go to hell, Bernie, not happening here. I keep hoping to read his obit one day, and stop this horror show.
