Potential 2020 presidential candidate Howard Schultz slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ “Green New Deal,” which he called “unrealistic” and “immoral.”
Speaking at a CNN town hall, Schultz – the billionaire Starbucks Chairman Emeritus suggested that Democrats be “truthful” about their environmental goals instead of just throwing ideas “against the wall because it’s a good slogan.”
“I read that by 2030 they’re suggesting that every building in America becomes clean energy, conforms to clean energy, just to put that in perspective, because it’s not realistic, that would mean that between 2,000 and 3,000 buildings a day would have to be reconstructed to conform to what they’re saying,” Schultz said. “So let’s be sensible about what we’re suggesting.”
