Mike Bloomberg has announced a new campaign dubbed Beyond Carbon to eliminate fossil fuels and move the US to 100 percent clean energy – while claiming the Green New Deal championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stands no chance in the Senate.

The former New York City mayor, who announced Tuesday that he won’t run for president, wrote in an op-ed that he could make a stronger impact “organizing and mobilizing communities to begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy.”

“The idea of a Green New Deal — first suggested by the columnist Tom Friedman more than a decade ago — stands no chance of passage in the Senate over the next two years,” he wrote. “But Mother Nature does not wait on our political calendar, and neither can we.”

The Green New Deal calls for generating 100 percent of electric power in the US from renewable sources and overhauling the economy to cut greenhouse gas emissions drastically within 10 years.

In his op-ed, Bloomberg cited the campaign called Beyond Coal that he launched along with the Sierra Club in 2011.

“By organizing and mobilizing communities affected by the harmful pollution of coal-fired power plants, we have helped close more than half the nation’s plants — 285 out of 530 — and replaced them with cleaner and cheaper energy,” he wrote.

“That was the single biggest reason the US has been able to reduce its carbon footprint by 11 percent — and cut deaths from coal power plants from 13,000 to 3,000.”

He said his goal now is to “retire every single coal-fired power plant over the next 11 years.”

“That’s not a pipe dream. We can do it,” he continued. “And second, I will launch a new, even more ambitious phase of the campaign — Beyond Carbon: a grassroots effort to begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy.”

Dozens of Democrats have gotten behind the Green New Deal to express their support for drastic action to address climate change.

But the proposal faces significant opposition within the party, including from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who referred to the plan in an interview with Politico as “the green dream or whatever they call it.”
