The heart of the Green New Deal is the Green Transition. That's the transition from a fossil fuel economy to an economy based on clean renewable energy.
It is important to know in advance that the corporate media and the 'pundit-ocracy" are going to ridicule and marginalize anyone that wants a sane transition to a sustainable world.
In order to think clearly and advance our cause, we must see how ridiculous it is to defend "business as usual".
It is also ridiculous to think that we can transition to a better world by letting the "free market" do the work. The free market has never existed. It is a mythology that serves to support the powers that be.
If you have power, the last thing you want is democracy. If you have power, concentrated power, by virtue of being a controlling shareholder of a large corporation, then the last thing you want is an informed populace that will, in short order, remove you from your throne of power.
I'm glad you're here. I hope you'll listen to this entire episode.
