"We have acted on this scale before and we must do it again. We need massive renewable energy deployment: wind, solar, offshore wind, storage batteries for renewable electricity. Our energy future will not be found in the dark of a mine, but in the light of the sun. Energy efficiency, smart power grids, clean and affordable public transit, clean cars and manufacturing and working with key industries to eliminate pollution. Today we are putting forward a set of principles, not prescriptions, that will require leveraging new financing, providing new resources and training and using existing laws and new regulations to meet our 10 year goal."

"And the greatest climate denier of them all is in the White House, Donald Trump. A president who did not utter the words climate change or clean energy during his State of the Union two nights ago. On the most important issue facing this country his State of the Union, Donald Trump's State of the Union, was silent. Every reason Trump and the deniers and the critics offer to give up is proof positive that we should push forward even harder."
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat - New York:
"This is so incredible. This is such a major watershed moments and I am so incredibly excited that we are going to transition this country into the future and we are not going to be dragged behind by our past."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat - New York:
"Today is also the day that we choose to assert ourselves as a global leader in transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy and charting that path. That means that we are not going to peg ourselves by the lowest by, by the lowest standards of other nations. It doesn't mean that we're going to say what about them? They're not doing it. What about them? They're not doing it. Why should we? We should do it because we should lead. We shouldn't do it because that is what this nation is about. We should do it because we are a country founded on ideals of a culture that is innovative, that cares for our brothers and sisters across this country. We should do it because we are an example to the world."

"No I think it is a green dream. And I think that, it is it is, and I think that that all great, all great, all great American programs, everything from the Great Society to the New Deal started with a vision for our future. And I don't think that you know I don't consider that to be a dismissive term. I think it's a great term."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Ed Markey, Democrat - Massachusetts:
"This is now a voting issue across the country. The green generation has risen up and they are saying that they want this issue solved and they want the people who work in this building and occupy the White House to solve this problem. So this is going to enter the 2020 election cycle as the one of the top two or three issues for every candidate on both sides."
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat - New York:
"Speaker Pelosi and I have have spoken at length about climate. We share this priority. She she did in fact invite me to be on the committee. And so I don't think that this is a snub. I don't think that this is any you know anything like that and we can have the conversation about the committee another day but today is about the vision that we're putting forward and the actual legislative plan and that is that ... right now this legislative scope is the only legislative scope that has been presented in this Congress."

STORYLINE:
Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, are calling for a Green New Deal intended to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.
The freshman lawmaker is teaming up with veteran Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts on the plan, which aims to eliminate the U.S. carbon footprint by 2030.
At least five Democratic presidential hopefuls in the Senate - Kamala Harris of California, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont - co-sponsored the resolution.
Markey predicted more Democrats would sign on and said even some Republicans may back the plan.
"This is now a voting issue across the country," he said. "The green generation has risen up and they are saying they want this issue solved" as one of the top two or three issues in the 2020 election, Markey said.
As outlined Thursday, the nonbinding resolution sets a goal to meet "100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable and zero-emission energy sources," including dramatic increases in wind and solar power.
While setting lofty goals, the plan does not explicitly call for eliminating the use of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, a nod to pragmatism that may disappoint some of Ocasio-Cortez's strongest supporters.
Even so, the Green New Deal goes far beyond the Clean Power Plan proposed by former President Barack Obama.
President Donald Trump has scrapped Obama's plan, which imposed emissions limits on coal-fired power plants, as a job-killer.
The Democrats are likely to meet resistance to their proposal in Congress, especially in the Republican-controlled Senate. Trump, who has expressed doubts about climate change, also is likely to oppose it.
The announcement of the Green New Deal came as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tapped eight Democrats to serve on a special committee to address climate change.
Ocasio-Cortez was not among those named to the panel, which is chaired by Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla.
Ocasio- Cortez said Pelosi invited her to join the panel but she declined, saying she wants to focus on the Green New Deal and other committee assignments.
The resolution being introduced Thursday marks the first time Ocasio-Cortez and other lawmakers have attached legislative language to the Green New Deal, a concept that until now has been largely undefined other than as a call for urgent action to head off catastrophic climate change and create jobs.
