$$Green$$ new deal?
From this Q&A (dated today), Cortez has confirmed that they are against CCUS (apart from planting trees). I guess part of their plan may be to make steel, glass, concrete etc. outside the USA? They will be a nation of batteries, wind turbines and solar panels, with no heavy industry within its borders, I guess? Sheesh. https://www.heartland.org/publications-resources/publications/green-new-deal-fact-sheet-and-faq-from-rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-and-sen-edward-markey https://www.heartland.org/publications-resources/publications/green-new-deal-fact-sheet-and-faq-from-rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-and-sen-edward-markey

I wouldn't believe anyting from the Heartland institute, that's just the Kochs. Late in the process the Green New Deal proponents shifted from the phrase 100% Renewable to Net Zero Greenhouse Gas.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. And agreed, there are some pretty wild climate engineering ideas being floated about. CCS seems pretty benign relative to some of them (especially environmentally friendly options such as CST's tech)!
