A small note: the Green New Deal is not much about ecology. It's a, needed, industrial revolution. Why? For the same reasons why we switch from mechanical cash registers to electronic ones: because making electronics is expensive in factories terms, but it's needed and can spit out gazillion of very cheap ICs needing not much raw material, while the previous mechanical version demand much more raw material, energy and labor per single unit. Similarly moving electricity is not that simple nor cheap, but still needed and far cheaper than moving gas, gasoline, diesel etc.
Ecology? Ah, ok, there is SOME at the end, meaning much less need of raw materials ONCE the transition would be made.
That's the point almost nobody want to state because in that case instead of getting a polarized cohort of fanatics on both side we would get a significant cohort of people stating "ok, let's do it BUT if we pay for product factories sustain the costs OR we participate to the costs and to the earning".
