When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., rolled out her plans for her Green New Deal, there were several chuckle-worthy elements to it. Conservatives had quite a bit of fun with her “farting cows,” her proposed abolition of air travel, and her guaranteed incomes for those “unwilling to work,” among other things.

But if you’re not convinced by those gaffes that the proposal wasn’t serious, there was a much more convincing proof buried in the text. For in the process of making all U.S. electrical generation carbon-neutral, the Green New Deal not only ruled out the creation of new nuclear generation capacity, but also called for dismantling the nuclear capacity that exists.
