I wonder if he plans to pay to convert my natural gas heating to something else inexpensive and reliable for me?
Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez Push Bill to ‘Ban Fracking Nationwide’ by 2025
An anti-fracking bill crafted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) aims to end the practice altogether, making it illegal “on all onshore and offshore land in the United States†by Jan. 1, 2025.
Left-wing actor Mark Ruffalo teased the bill last week, allowing Sanders to jokingly knock him for “ruining the surprise†of the new fracking legislation.
“I don’t mind if @MarkRuffalo spoils his own movies. But please, don’t ruin the surprise of our new legislation with Rep. @AOC, @SenJeffMerkley and @RepDarrenSoto,†Sanders wrote with an accompanying clip of the Avengers actor evidently “spoiling†the upcoming legislation:
The bill, according to the Hill, aims to end fracking altogether, revoking permits for “wells where fracking takes place and that are within 2,500 feet of a home, school or other ‘inhabited structure’†beginning February 1, 2021. It would also “immediately prevent federal agencies from issuing federal permits for expanded fracking, new fracking, new pipelines, new natural gas or oil export terminals and other gas and oil infrastructure.â€
It would make the practice, which Ocasio-Cortez has identified as the “leading contributor to our climate emergency,†illegal by January 1, 2025.
“Fracking is a danger to our water supply. It’s a danger to the air we breathe, it has resulted in more earthquakes, and it’s highly explosive,†Sanders said in a statement, according to the Hill. To top it all off, it’s contributing to climate change.â€
Uh huh. Also, here’s Comrade Bernie

Here’s also Comrade Bernie
(Hot Air) The Sanders campaign spent nearly $1.2 million on private jets last quarter as the candidate traveled between the Senate impeachment and campaign stops. The Washington Free Beacon reports Joe Biden wasn’t far behind:
The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a “luxury private jet charter service.†The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team.
‘Climate change’ policy is always applied to Someone Else.
BTW, Elizabeth Warren also called for a total ban on new oil leases and a complete ban of all fracking. Then she jumps in a fossil fueled private jet.
