,des,jarlais1 ,mr4 ,brooks of ,alabama1 ,mr4 ,weber of ,texas1 ,mr4 ,mitchell1 ,mr4 ,loudermilk1 and ,mr4 ,dunn7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,energy and ,commerce1 and in addition to the ,committees on ,oversight and ,reform1 ,science1 ,space1 and ,technology1 ,education and ,labor1 ,transportation and ,infrastructure1 ,agriculture1 ,natural ,resources1 ,foreign ,affairs1 ,financial ,services1 the ,judiciary1 and ,ways and ,means1 for a period to be subsequently determined by the ,speaker1 in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned ,,resolution ,expressing the sense of the ,house of ,representatives that the ,green ,new ,deal is antithetical to the principles of free market capitalism and private property rights1 is simply a thinly veiled attempt to usher in policies that create a socialist society in ,america1 and is impossible to fully implement4 ,whereas1 on ,february #g1 #bjai1 ,representative ,alexandria ,ocasio-,cortez and ,senator ,edward ,markey introduced ,h4 ,res4 #aji and ,s4 ,res4 #ei1 respectively1 resolutions recognizing the duty of the ,federal ,government to create a ,green ,new ,deal2 ,whereas1 on ,march #bf1 #bjai1 the ,senate voted to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to ,s4 ,j4 ,res4 #h1 a joint resolution containing the text of the ,green ,new ,deal2 ,whereas the recorded vote on the cloture motion for ,s4 ,j4 ,res4 #h failed with the sponsor and cosponsors of ,s4 ,res4 #ei and all other ,democrats voting present2 ,whereas the cost of implementing the ,green ,new ,deal1 while difficult to accurately estimate due to the lack of a coherent framework1 is-- 7#a7 estimated by the ,american ,action ,forum to total as high as #ic trillion over #aj years2 and 7#b7 estimated by the ,american ,enterprise ,institute to total approximately #i trillion annually2 ,whereas the previously published ,frequently ,asked ,questions document for the ,green ,new ,deal 7in this resolution referred to as the ,,faq document7 acknowledges that the combined resources of every billionaire and company are insufficient to cover the cost of the ,green ,new ,deal2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal's goal of meeting #ajj percent of the power demand in the ,united ,states through renewable energy resources within #aj years is likely technologically impossible because-- 7#a7 while fossil fuel power generation can be increased or decreased based on consumer demand1 renewable energy resources are dependent on environmental conditions beyond human control2 7#b7 according to the ,energy ,information ,administration1 the energy efficiency or capacity factor ratio of wind and solar electricity generation are #ce percent and #bf percent1 respectively1 while the energy efficiency of nuclear1 coal1 and natural gas electricity generation are #ib percent1 #ed percent1 and #ea percent1 respectively2 and 7#c7 according to the ,heartland ,institute1 the ,green ,new ,deal would require the mining of tons of minerals that are not currently produced in quantities that would satisfy such an expansion of renewable energy resources2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal's goal of meeting #ajj percent of the power demand in the ,united ,states through renewable energy resources within #aj years is likely fiscally impossible because-- 7#a7 the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation necessitate a vast expansion of storage infrastructure1 and1 according to the ,,mit ,technology ,review1 a battery system that provides just #ab hours of electricity storage throughout the ,united ,states would cost more than #b4e trillion2 7#b7 according to the ,american ,action ,forum1 the capital expenditures to transition to #ajj percent renewable electricity production could cost the ,united ,states at least #e4g trillion1 which1 based on estimates from the ,international ,food ,policy ,research ,institute1 the ,world ,bank1 and the ,economist1 is enough money to simultaneously end world hunger for #bj years1 provide clean water to the entire world1 and end malaria2 7#c7 according to the ,american ,action ,forum1 operating expenses for wind turbine and solar panel maintenance and operation would cost #chg billion annually2 and 7#d7 according to the ,american ,action ,forum1 the average amount of energy bills would increase between #egf and #c1hhb per year1 resulting in widespread energy poverty2 ,whereas according to the ,united ,kingdom ,office for ,national ,statistics1 cold indoor temperatures are associated with excess winter deaths1 contributing to an estimated #ej1ajj excess winter deaths in the #bjag to #bjah winter period2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal's goal of meeting #ajj percent of the power demand in the ,united ,states through renewable energy resources within #aj years would have severely detrimental impacts to the environment and wildlife because-- 7#a7 according to the ,american ,enterprise ,institute1 the need for solar panel and wind turbine expansion would require over #aae million of acres of land1 which is #ae percent larger than the land area of ,california2 7#b7 solar farms incinerate thousands of birds each year1 as reported by the ,los ,angeles ,times1 and according to a report published by the ,wildlife ,society ,bulletin1 wind turbines were estimated to have killed #egc1jjj birds and #hhj1jjj bats in #bjab alone2 and 7#c7 under the ,obama administration1 the ,u4,s4 ,fish and ,wildlife ,service finalized a rule allowing wind energy companies to avoid penalties for the slaughter of golden eagles and up to #d1bjj bald eagles that would have otherwise violated the ,bald and ,golden ,eagle ,protection ,act and the ,migratory ,bird ,treaty ,act2 ,whereas according to a report published by the ,college of ,family ,physicians of ,canada1 the adverse health effects for those living near wind turbines includes sleep disturbance1 headaches1 anxiety1 depression1 and cognitive dysfunction2 ,whereas the ,,faq document sets a goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle in the ,united ,states1 which1 according to the ,bureau of ,transportation ,statistics1 would require replacing the majority of-- 7#a7 almost #bgj million cars2 7#b7 nearly #ab million boats2 7#c7 over #acj1jjj transit vehicles2 and 7#d7 almost #bg1jjj trains2 ,whereas the ,,faq document sets a goal to build out high-speed rail infrastructure at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary1 which1 according to the ,american ,action ,forum1 would cost between #a4a and #b4e trillion and require the construction of #ai1dec miles of track2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal's goal of upgrading all existing buildings to achieve maximum energy and water efficiency within #aj years is likely impossible because the ,united ,states has-- 7#a7 almost #ajj million residential buildings2 7#b7 approximately #adj1jjj schools2 7#c7 over #cjf1jjj ,federal ,government buildings2 and 7#d7 approximately #chd1jjj churches2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal calls for ,federal subsidies and intervention in the private marketplace1 which tend to distort economic activity and disincentivize innovation2 ,whereas the ,green ,new ,deal and the ,,faq document call for the enactment of policies with no semblance of a connection to emissions or climate change1 including-- 7#a7 providing free college to all ,americans1 which the ,american ,enterprise ,institute estimates will cost at least #gj billion per year2 7#b7 providing ,government health care to all ,americans1 which the ,committee for a ,responsible ,federal ,budget estimates would cost #bh trillion over a decade2 and 7#c7 providing economic security for those unwilling to work2 ,whereas socialism and communism rely upon dictatorships that deny freedoms enjoyed by all ,americans1 including freedom of speech1 a free press1 free assembly1 free and open elections1 due process1 and a free and independent judiciary2 and ,whereas in the #bjth century alone1 socialist and communist regimes were responsible for the deaths of over #ajj million men1 women1 and children3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense of the ,house of ,representatives that-- 7#a7 the ,green ,new ,deal would violate all ,americans' right to life1 liberty1 and the pursuit of happiness2 7#b7 the ,green ,new ,deal would have an almost incomprehensibly devastating effect on the national debt of the ,united ,states1 and no collection of revenue-raising measures could pay for its implementation without completely destroying the economy and societal fabric of the ,united ,states2 7#c7 the ,green ,new ,deal is antithetical to the principles of free market capitalism and our private property rights1 bedrock principles that have made the ,united ,states the greatest country in the world2 7#d7 many of the proposals in the ,green ,new ,deal have no connection at all to climate change1 and reveal the true nature of the ,green ,new ,deal2 7#e7 the ,green ,new ,deal is simply a thinly veiled attempt to usher in policies that create a socialist society in ,america2 and 7#f7 the ,united ,states is a free society that has fought against socialist regimes for decades and must continue to fight against socialism in the future4
