Yes, I read that.

WASHINGTON, DC — The Green New Deal championed by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez officially rolled out Thursday afternoon, but some proponents of the bill appeared unable to explain how commercial and private air travel will survive, should the legislation ever become successful. (RELATED: Does Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Outlaw Every Building In The Country?)

Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal calls to:

“Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.”

The Daily Caller spoke with Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, a major supporter of the package, about the lack of the combustion engine in the future, as well as how the airline industry would be affected by the plan.

We have no idea if this would even benefit society, for a start lithium is needed for batteries and as everyone in the automotive industryis aware batteries don't last forever and have their own environmental problems.

The market should determine who drives what, not a government.
Let’s go back 120 years and defend the blacksmith and farrier industries. The airline & automotive industries didn’t even exist then. We had no idea back then if the automobile would even benefit society, for a start pertroleum was needed, the industry was aware oil wells don’t last forever and have their own environmental problems.

As for market vs government for determining who drives what - our government made it viable for Falcons, Valiants, Kingswoods & Commodores to be produced locally in the first place.
