Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reintroduces Green New Deal with added measures

After quite a while of silence on the topic, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her more progressive splinter of the Democratic Party have reintroduced the Green New Deal.

These representatives are launching even more legislation into the plan, widening the scope to an idea already bipartisanly considered ambitious.
