Then you should like what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) recently said about nuclear 
power. "Third Way Climate & Energy" carried this clip in 
https://twitter.com/ThirdWayEnergy/status/1262803166053183488 ; here's what she said 
in that clip:

Jimmy Dore also covered this clip in https://youtube.com/watch?v=tRU8K402OK8 ("AOC 
Now Open To NUCLEAR Green New Deal!?") including a description of the Twitter account 
holder, Third Way Climate & Energy and an opposing view from Leona Morgan from Navajo 
Nation.

Insofar as AOC is a spokesperson for the Democratic Party's vision of the Green New 
Deal, it seems that the title "We Need a Nuclear New Deal, Not a Green New Deal" is 
misstating the proposition; the way AOC put it, "the Green New Deal does leave the 
door open for nuclear".
