A Green New Deal Resolution has been proposed in Congress by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey. The stated goal is to address climate change by creating millions of new green jobs that will decarbonize our economy.

These broad brush strokes provide a framework for legislative action. Now we as a society get to have a conversation about what we want the details to be.
