Houston Chronicle: Without better climate policies, the Green New Deal won’t work

Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released her long-anticipated Green New Deal. In it, she aims to change the very fabric of the country. She calls for retrofitting every building in America to make them more “green.” She calls for a job guarantee, in which the government would provide any willing citizen a job paying at least $15 an hour, and she adds that every American should be provided high-quality, affordable health care.
