can candidates accomplish the green new deal infrastructure goals with our current laws? which clients have a viable plan for dealing with these realities? >> thank you. i want to say when you say the green new deal, it's hard to know what you were talking about. there is a resolution in congress. there is senator sanders's plan. we should be specific and we are talking about plans who has a green new deal and which proposal. your question about permitting and how we will achieve the extraordinary goal every one of the major candidates has laid out, what is consistent across their plans is an embrace of this concept of net zero by the 2050, on by the middle of the century, which is an extrin fast timeline. if you think about what we were looking at during the obama administration, we were talking about reducing carbon pollution and overall greenhouse gases by 20% by that's very significant. 2050. especially when you look at how to get to the difficult carbonized sectors. how do we build all of this? i believe that is your question regarding permitting. that is a secondary

of the heart of this in our strategy is the green new deal. a radical environmental change policy the idea for which was conceived in the u.s. in the 1960 s. . the deal's goal is to completely transform the u.s. economy by ending its dependency on fossil fuels investing instead in renewable energy and creating jobs in the process. the green new deal is massive economic mobilization at a scale that we have not seen in this country since world war 2 that is an effort to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs. i'm curious to find out whether real political change is possible with people power alone particularly by those so young. i've come to the sunrise boston. there are 204 hubs like this spread across the nation. here every month 60 sunrise members gather to share experiences and get behind the cause. welcome your 2nd husband. i mean i guess it's the way. they're. every thing. that. i get that was. the hubs give people of all backgrounds and opportunities to come together and voice their concerns every single person who decided t

these are big questions that are actually not -- that some are discussing in the context of a green new deal but i've seen many versions of what people believe a green new deal is, to christy's point. so i think these are where i think there will be much more contentious issues and i think there will be a lot of democrats who will have some issues with some of these ideas. and how they're discussed and how we move forward on those will have a great impact. when you start talking about electrifying, trying to electrify the fleet, the automobile fleet and so on, i think there's actually less argument about if that could be achieved, that would be great. there's issues in making -- getting -- getting to that point. and i still -- i haven't really seen a roadmap of how you get to a fully electrified fleet in such a short period of time. but that's, you know, i don't think anybody is opposed to it. especially not the democratic party, opposed to it as a policy matter. when you get to these other questions, i think that you'll see some broad disagreements on what does this mean? and whether if, in

new deal. another that is quite relevant thinking about the green new deal is that conservation corps probably the most popular of the new deal programs and it is a reminder that the new deal was not only responding to an economic crisis but also in ecological crisis because of the dust bowl and the crisis of the deforestation so they sent more than 2 million people mostly fromop cities to the camps in rural parts of the united states andpl that's kind of scale is imported into the kind of thing we need to do to pull carbon out of the atmosphere. in the book you write the following quote what makes it so difficult for many of us to grasp is thato we live in a culture of perpetual present that we are shaping with our actions. >> guest: i'm trying to make visible the economic systems and the relatively new economic and social models born of the particular kind of capitalism we have had since the reagan era which has been all of the deregulation, privatization and generating the individual consumers equally think with democracy and good good life thatch has produced an accelerad culture that offen

you don't hear about the green new deal. is a little bit of frustration with democrats throwing them onto the bus in favor of illegal immigrants. shiny new object despite the fact that blacks have been loyal to the democratic party for at least 80 years. again, 90% of the black vote. the open borders agenda is harming the black community profoundly in terms of labor market, so you don't hear this kind of stuff that you hear from the candidates being discussed at the dinner table. finally, you have to understande that donald trump is making the greatest outreach to the black community of any republican president in our lifetime. i've lived in the same place for 35 years, and that 35 year period not, i received only one g.o.p.p. flyer. trump is making an aggressive outreach. it's paying off some dividends. he doesn't need to have a 34% polling with blacks to prevail. all he needs is to boots that percentage. 8% last time, about typical for republican candidates. if he gets it up to 12, 13%, game over. >> tucker: as a mathematic

come out against the green new deal even before the green new deal was put on the table and that shows that basically those who usually support the console the diesel don't want to go that way so the road will be hard to convince them so declaring time into an emergency is all fine by me but if it remains a pure declaration it is just wasted energy mr thomas thank you very much as always . now rescue teams in albania are in a race against time to find survivors of tuesday's earthquake the death toll has risen to 40 making the quake one about then yes deadliest ever powerful aftershocks are complicating the search and forcing nervous residents to sleep outdoors crews have flown in from across europe to help with search efforts. sniffer dogs from a crime and rescue teams scour the remains of a collapsed building. a girl is still missing in the rubble. house on the street people who have lost their homes wait for help the coastal city of duras is one of the areas hardest hit by the quake 27 buildings here have been destroyed killing at least 12 people. after the main quake on tuesday morn

yearfor the investment. £80 billion, 100 billion a year for the new deal, investment. £80 billion, 100 billion a yearfor the new deal, greenion, it might even be 100 billion plus by the time it is true, let's put it into, for example, half £1 billion, £500 million for towns and cities around the country. that is what renewing the transport infrastructure, that is what will get people out of their cars. it will not impact flying, you are not going to cut the flight from glasgow down to london. if nicola sturgeon has her way it will. someone else says, is being poor betterfor the planet than being green? no, it is about recognising we can have a great quality of life, we can all flourish in a new green, low carbon economy. it is often the poorest who are suffering the results of air pollution. people who live around airports, suffer the pollution from the aircraft. they cannot afford to move out of the flight path, they are the ones that suffer. mark text to say where'd you go on holiday and how do you get there? the last holiday i had was in cornwall and i took the train down. it took me up took the train down. it took me u

they want some of the very clear policies that jeremy corbyn does associate with things like the green new deal the green industrial revolution as it's called by labor but i would call the green new deal for my own personal reasons and that is key to it and i believe they're going to stick with that line and they're going to stick with a line that we can afford it because bluntly we can't and therefore and. columnists like yourself must be looking with wonder that the selection campaign will instead of the the parties competing on a stella 30 they're both competing on who can spend the most well i'm delighted they are i mean there's a chance at accountant and as an economist you would have expected me to be saying be cautious actually i've just read an article in the financial times it's commonplace talk the world wants more government bonds the only way in which the world can buy enough government bonds to meet the demand for them is to for governments to borrow to death or spend. and to therefore create the infrastructure that we need in this country and elsewhere around the world the u.k. go

the green new deal lays it right out there. ice and fairness with the transition from fossil fuel. so that's the number one demand. support the green new deal. number two, no new fossil fuel expansion. if we don't yet keep what has been released in the ground, there's no way we're going to make the deadline. then the stuff that's already being fracked, mined, pumped, gradually phase out over 30 years. >> let me ask you a tough question. when i look at the math, it looks to me like it's going to be very hard to meet our energy needs only with solar, wind, energy efficiency. what about advanced nuclear? are we at a point where we have to look at nuclear, though it's not a clean fuel, it doesn't add carbon. is nuclear on the table or off the table? >> it's off the table as far as i'm concerned. i made a movie called "the china syndrome" which exposes some of the problems. there's still no way to dispose of the waste. the biggest problem is what nuclear does to water. water is going to become the new gold and the nuclear industry, j

as part of their "green new deal," also known as a giant trojan horse, the "green new deal," what do s their effort to try to come up with the easiest possible entry vehicle they can find for the "green new deal," because 93 trillion-dollar complete economic overhaul of the economy that aoc came up with in the first place, it just did not appeal to people. as soon they find out she wants to destroy fossil fuel industry, destroy energy jobs across the country, that wasn't flying t was way too costly. this is the camel's nose under the tent this is the effort to try to get the "green new deal" some attention and i just don't think voters are going for it, not right now. >> last one we never would fly in planes again. she found out a way getting paid for working if you choose not to work. we'll see if some things are in the housing deal as well. vince, thank you. >> thank you. connell: new twist on an old classic. ford what some see as shocking update for its iconic mustang. we'll check under the hood on that one next. so many gifts, so little time, is this a job for celebrities? melissa

also the green new deal, i don't believe in the green new deal. to me it's more about green money, not anything to do with the environment. i have a question for both of your guests. if we eliminate all of the fossil fuel, gas, oil, etc., country ofr up this over 330 million people with just wind turbines? wind and solar? i believe it's only going to weaken us and other countries like iran, russia and china will gain more power because they will have -- i don't believe they will go with complete wind and solar power in their countries. that's not gonna happen. they have a lot of oil and they will use it and they will gain more power and we will be weakened. nicolas: we do not know who the 11,000 scientists are because they weren't disclosed in the paper. they could be researchers who don't even work in the field of climate science for all we know. but i believe they came from over 150 different countries. with regard to wind and solar powering all of america, it would not only be immensely huge taxpayert expense, but you have to back wind and sola

also the green new deal, i don't believe in the green new deal. to me it is more about green money, not anything to do with the environment. i have a question for mr. -- actually both of your guests. if we eliminate all the fossil fuels, can we power up this country. i am not talking about other countries. can we power this country of over 330 million people with turbines, wind and solar? i believe it is only going to weaken us. rand,countries like a russia and china are going to gain more power. i don't believe they are going to go with complete wind or solar power. it is not going to happen. they have a lot of oil and they will use it and they will gain more power and we will be weakened. we don't really know who the 11,000 scientists are because they were not disclosed in the paper. they could be researchers who don't even work in the field of climate science but they did come from over 150 different countries. and solard to wind powering all of america, but only would it be immensely costly but you also have to back up wind and solar with batt

threat of our extinction will move us to a 0 emissions economy jeremy rifkin in your book the green new deal you argue that our civilization which is based on fossil energy will collapse as soon as in 2028 now for 200 years fossil energy has been the most important source of energy can you believe that's hard to understand for a lot of people including for the economy which is depending on oil i think what people don't understand is the entire civilization is made out of fossil fuels are fertilizers and pesticides are construction materials are synthetic fiber are packaging. food additives and preservatives are power transport are eat are like everything so what's happened now ever is that we are now in a pivotal turning point for this fossil fuel based industrial civilization. we have now spewed so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to maintain this industrial way of life that we are now finding ourselves in real time climate change frigid winter of 70 below 0 and blockbuster winter snows massive flooding across our land masses in the spring summer droughts and wildfires on every conti

it is tied up with universal basic income proposals and so on which is part of other green new dealsed elsewhere. in the united states and even the green party in the uk, they are tying up, doing proposals for a universal basic income. the problem we face with the british election is that manifestos have not yet been launched but what we have seen with labour is that they are using the climate emergency, and i think it is interesting they are using the term climate emergency, with the very ambitious public spending plans that will break the mould of the the way the british economy has been run for the past 40 years. take that thought more global. the climate emergency, the use of that term or the refusal to use our time, because we have got bushfires in california, brazil, and yet you get an american president who questions climate science and a brazilian president who questions climate science. so this idea of a climate emergency is not universally accepted. no, it is not, but those democratically elected positions will feel the fire of public opinion asking them to do something abo

labour's also promising to upgrade millions of existing homes as part of his green new deal and there party has also been talking about housing today. it's promising a million homes in the next five years, with 300,000 a year by the mid—2020s. here's borisjohnson. it is certainly deliverable and of course i would always love to do more but look at our record. we are the party that actually builds the homes that this country needs. we had a record amount last year, 240,000, 57,000 affordable. in labour's 13 years, they criticised us about council homes. we built more council homes in one year than they did in 13 years. we have very big ambitions. well there's mrjohnson inviting us to look at the conservative's record on housing. and that's what andrew neil did on the bbc earlier when speaking to the government minister liz truss. you had a plan in 2014 two bill 200,000 new starter homes. five yea rs 200,000 new starter homes. five years ago that was. how many did you bill? i haven't been as many starter home since we went alike. how many did you bill? i don't have the exact numbers. it

i want to ask about the green new deal the green new deal lays out a lot of the things you've been talkingong time. are you impressed by it? and are you also a little jealous you didn't come up with the name [ laughter ] because the green new deal is a real good name >> i think it's a great brand, and a great name and you know, my friend tom friedman actually used that phrase some years back but i think it's -- i think it's genius because it does a couple things it manages to communicate the reality that the solutions to the climate crisis are going to have to be big on the scale of the new deal it also conveys that there are lots of jobs involved. we can get our country being more prosperous on a sustainable basis while we solve the climate crisis fastest growing job in america is solar installer six times faster growth than average jobs second fastest growing job is wind turbine technician. this is a revolution that is creating tens of thousands, millions of new jobs i was with governor phil murphy in new jersey this morning they were launching this humongous new offshore wind farm that'

you act as god and you have a green new deal, you will rearrange everything. the only way to do that is through a totalitarian police state and then you can't do it anyway. you just shoot a lot of people like the soviet union taught us in the last century. i'd want to give the idea that this book is a book of ideas because there's a lot of narrative in it, a lot of my life lessons we go through life, you deal with death. i had a daughter who had a birth defect that caused her to die in her 40s, and i take lessons from these. i try to deal, you know, with the infirmities of age as you know, science, people don't talk about this too much, but people are living like ten-20 is longer than ever did because of science. but they do that because you have part of you removed by surgeons and so forth. i have done some of that in the book, and at each point i try to give whatever wisdom i have from my life expensed. >> when you say she do some of them in the book. you to some of what in the book? >> a lot of it. well, i talked about i have prostate cancer, one that metas

it sucks that a green new deal is going to be this expensive. i wish it weren't that way. the government new in the 1980s and so did exxon that this crisis was coming and what did exxon do? they didn't do nothing, they bought out politicians. they paid for disinformation campaigns. anytime you see a natural gas commercial on tv, that is political propaganda. that is climate denial. [applause] >> now we have this election coming up. that means we have a choice to make. are we going to vote for someone who sets the bar low, who is willing to compromise with crony politicians who don't share the same facts and don't share the same values as us or are we going to vote for someone like bernie sanders who has been in this fight with us for decades? this crisis is a crisis but it is an opportunity. it is an opportunity to choose something better than the status quo. an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the country and the rest of the world that new hampshire chooses people over profits, fact over fiction, and faith over fear. help us make that statement by voting for

i think labour, on this, has — they has announced a green new deal and their plans have been attackedic investment in renewable energies, and so on. it's tied up with universal basic income proposals and so on, which is part of other green new deals that have been proposed elsewhere — alexandria 0casio—cortez in the united states and even the green party here in united kingdom, they are tying up their green proposals to a universal basic income. i think the problem that we face with the british election is that manifestos have not yet been launched, but what we have seen with labour is that they are using the climate emergency — and i think it's interesting that they are using the term "climate emergency" — with their very, very ambitious public spending plans that will break the mould of the british — the way that the british economy has been run for the past 40 years, and that is scaring a lot of investors, and so on. so, take that thought more global. the climate emergency — use of that term or the refusal to use that term. of course, we've got, you know, we've got bushfires — or w

we need to see a green new deal which decarbonise our heat supply.lace it with ground source heat pumps, let's have a massive investment in cutting gas demand, that is what will sort our problems, not waiting to see whether fracking will be made safe. this is a huge change you're talking about, but without fracking, we are looking at importing huge levels of supplies and given the global situation, isn't that a danger? the real danger is the fracking fantasy that the government has pursued for ten years. while there's an inertia around dealing with all the boilers that are in our homes. we need to deal with the demand. we need to super insulate homes, cut the gas demand, but start the programme of stripping out gas boilers, make it possible to get that a low—cost clean energy into every house can be millions of homes in the uk that need to have that energy. we have only got until 2030, the government's target is 2050 to deal with the climate emergency, that is way too long. we have to decarbonise by 2030, so we should start the action right now, not

we need to see a green new deal which decarbonise is the heat supply. heat pumps and have massive investment in cutting gas demands. that will solve problems, not waiting to see if fracking can be saved. that is a huge change and there is an imperative for it but without fracking, we are looking at importing huge levels of supplies and given the global situation, is that a danger? the real danger has been the fracking fantasy the government has pursued for ten yea rs, government has pursued for ten years, while there is an inertia around dealing with boilers in our homes. we need to deal with demand and super insulated homes, cutback gas demand, and start the programme of stripping out gas boilers and make it possible to get low—cost clea n make it possible to get low—cost clean energy into every house the uk. we only have until 2030. the government target is 2050, which is too long. we need to get to net zero by2030 too long. we need to get to net zero by 2030 which means we should start the action now. if those long-term changes are more difficult pol

and it is based on the concept of the green new deal. [cheers and applause] sen.ders: and this is a concept, and by the way, all those things, people say bernie, your proposal is expensive. it is very expensive, although we pay for it. i want you all to think about what the alternative is. how much is too much if we are talking about literally saving this planet for future generations? [cheers and applause] sen. sanders: what our proposal did and on this issue, we worked with great members of congress like alexandria a cause or ted's -- and others, in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. and we are going to do that as rapidly as we possibly can. we are going to be retrofitting older buildings and homes all over this country. we are going to be transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel. we are going to be investing very, very heavily into sustainable energies like wind, solar, geothermal, and other sustainable energies. the other thing we understand which makes this problem even more complicate

and so the green new deal is an idea whose time has come.roud to put forward a manifesto which puts us on track to decarbonise every single sector of the economy by2030 every single sector of the economy by 2030 while delivering social justice across britain. applause we are entirely honest. it is the most ambitious green new deal anywhere in the world. accept no limitations. the conservatives say net zero by 2050. not good enough. the lib dems say net zero by 2045. not good enough. labour members said net zero by 2030. not good enough. applause while the other parties are catching up, we while the other parties are catching up, we are while the other parties are catching up, we are racing ahead into the distance, reaching new horizons. we are the ground breakers, the innovators, the originators and the experts. we are the green party and we are ready to remain and transform everything. thank you. cheering and applause. that was the deputy leader of the green party just about to that was the deputy leader of the green partyjust about to spea
