Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was widely criticized last year for releasing the Green New Deal, a $93 trillion piece of legislation that researchers at non-profit libertarian think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute summarized as “an overwhelmingly expensive proposal reliant on technologies that have not yet been invented.”
Now, Rob Bonta, a Democratic lawmaker from California, has announced the “California Green New Deal,” a plan similar to Ocasio-Cortez’s legislation, but designed to “boldly address the impacts of climate change and issues of equity” from a state-centric point of view.
