Summary

Daniel Turner—Founder & Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) reintroducing their Green New Deal legislation. Turner also talks about his recent experience testifying on Capitol Hill where he compared the sudden push for exclusively green energy to communism—both movements completely ignore market forces. He concedes that the green movement may believe they have good intentions, but that many might argue “Mao’s economic intentions were also good.”
