AOC’s Big Idea Is Called the Green New DealThe Green New Deal aims to have America running on 100% clean energy by 2030. The Green New Deal Excludes the Cleanest Energy Source of AllAccording to AOC "there is no place for nuclear power” in America’s future. In fact, the International Panel on Climate Change found nuclear power produces less air pollution than solar, wind, or hydro. They generate twice as much clean energy as every solar panel, wind turbine, and other clean energy source combined. Excluding nuclear, clean energy sources like solar and wind make up 17% of America’s energy needs.
