Also, for residential building, many are using "goal zero" instead of "net zero", I assume because of the caveat in my link above. An example:

https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/89244774_zpid/43.5761,-116.423579,43.496705,-116.571208_rect/12_zm/

The above home is goal zero (according to the builder, though the realtor ad says "net") plus is one of the "sealed designs" so you always have an air circulator/filter running vs ever opening windows (the windows are like 5" thick).

I'm actually not at all opposed to goal zero as long as it's not by force of government. My major opposition to the technology is that it's still over priced, IMO. If you go to the history on that house, you can see that it started out at $1million. Though its current selling price is now in line with standard homes in that area.

Net zero:

https://www.worldgbc.org/advancing-net-zero/what-net-zero

Note:


According to the WGBC timeline, 2050 is the goal for all buildings to be "net-zero." That's thirty years out, not the ten years AOC is calling for. As an architect and licensed building inspector, I'm pretty certain that it can't happen even by 2050.

That is a nice house and garage.  I'd live in it.

It's very nice, top notch construction, and in a nice area as well. I looked at it last year when it was still overpriced.  :laugh:

Which is also kind of a point for me posting the link. It's a great example of "supply and demand" in the alternative energy market. It's currently around 10-15% higher than comparable places in the area. That's acceptable to me for $100 per YEAR utility bills, or maybe even getting paid for the excess electricity produced.

The original $1million asking price though, is analogous to what AOC and the greenies want. They want to force us into that tech for the $1million price tag, when it's only worth half that. Another reason that the green deal would absolutely bankrupt the US.

Ha ha - She might let Amazon come back to NYC if they meet her demands. Because, you know, she's in charge of everything now.

In some ways I will miss the entertainment when her remaining 13 minutes are up.

Two political action committees founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s top aide funneled over $1 million in political donations into two of his own private companies, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.
Quote
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.

I know a pajama boy who is enamored with her.

On the book of faces I encourage all my liberal friends by writing nice things about how formidable her and Bernie are going to be in 2020.

Of course I mock the two of them for their socialism also :) To them socialism is a feature not a bug though.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Well, they're democrats so it's OK.

Now she's mad because the grocery store "gives her 10 paper bags" when she checks out. I hate the nagging greenies, but even I usually take my own bag to the store. When I don't it's because I want the bags because I'll reuse them for other stuff. She, on the other hand, is upset because it's too hard to recycle them (vs reusing them).

Perfect example of the type of "environmentalist" who does it for the attention vs actually for the environment.

I don't know if it's been discussed here before, but Internet says her birthdate is in October of '89, meaning she'll be eligible to run for president in 2024. Wonder if she'll have flamed out by then.

She flamed out two or three months ago, she's just too dumb to realize it. Meanwhile enjoy the show.

At this point, I think she just makes a useful distraction.  Pelosi can use her to voice all the radical ideas and make her look reasonable.

Don’t live in a right wing bubble.

She is very popular on the left/far left.

She may be bringing the same game that Trump used.

Trump was pretty far out there himself, he was the number one Obama birth certificate birther if you recall.

Trump tailors his message to the audience. When he was meeting with Putin I doubt he was ranting like he does at CPAC.

Comrade Sandy O is playing to a specific demographic.

She will smooth ruffled feathers once her base is secured.

Or she is on our side and was sent to destroy the Dems! :)

AOC may be popular on the far left,  but she is still an ignorant loud mouthed nut.  Even  some of her senior liberal travelers have chastised her.  A Greenpeace member recently condemned her environmental plan.

She's no Trump.  Trump has a real estate empire.  Cortez was a bartender.  Slight difference, there.  :angel:
