Politico first reported Deere's comments regarding the resolution.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced a resolution on Thursday that would push the U.S. to reduce carbon emissions through the economy.

The proposal has a goal of creating millions of “good, high-wage jobs” by working toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

“Whereas, because the United States has historically been responsible for a disproportionate amount of greenhouse gas emissions, having emitted 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions through 2014, and has a high technological capacity, the United States must take a leading role in reducing emissions through economic transformation,” the resolution reads.

The proposal says that the plan would include resilience building, a completely renewable-energy driven power grid, updating “smart” power grids and increasing building energy efficiency. The proposal also includes a commitment that all future infrastructure bills would specifically address climate change.
