The Green New Deal: Why the Fossil Fuel Civilization Will Collapse by 2028, and the Bold Economic Plan to Save Life on Earth

by Jeremy Rifkin  · 9 Sep 2019  · 327pp  · 84,627 words

a dying fossil-fuel-weighted Second Industrial Revolution infrastructure to a smart green zero-emission Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure is the very nucleus of the Green New Deal. Infrastructure revolutions require a healthy social-market economy that brings together government, industry, and civil society at every level with the appropriate mix of public

Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure and zero-carbon economy. Cities, counties, and states, in turn, will be tasked with developing their own customized goals and deliverables, Green New Deal roadmaps, construction sites, and deployment initiatives for transitioning into a Third Industrial Revolution paradigm. They will then cross-border and create an integrated national infrastructure

journey away from a death-driven Second Industrial Revolution and into a life-affirming Third Industrial Revolution. How EU Political Activists Launched the Green New Deal The enthusiasm around a Green New Deal that is echoing across America is music to my ears—a sweet refrain that takes me back to 2007. Just as Alexandria Ocasio

—just the kind of interdisciplinary collective needed to rethink the economic paradigm in a world facing climate change. In 2008, the Green New Deal Group issued a 48-page declaration titled A Green New Deal: Joined-Up Policies to Solve the Triple Crunch of the Credit Crisis, Climate Change and High Oil Prices.3 This plan

is happening with the carbon-based Second Industrial Revolution. Fortunately, a digitally interconnected postcarbon Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure, which is at the heart of a Green New Deal, is ascending, along with new aggregate efficiencies, higher productivity, and a dramatic reduction in carbon footprint. In turn, new businesses and workforces will be required

Revolution infrastructure are each decoupling from a fossil fuel civilization—ICT/telecommunication, electricity, transportation and logistics, and the building stock—and recoupling with the incipient Green New Deal Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure around the world. If trustees of pension funds are looking to maximize the lifetime financial interests of their pensioners and their

conceive how this might be done by locking investments into a dying Second Industrial Revolution infrastructure with its stranded assets and declining business models. The Green New Deal is all about infrastructure: Broadband, Big Data and digital communication, near-zero marginal cost, zero-emission green electricity, autonomous electric vehicles on smart roads powered

online because of the generous tax credits and other incentives combined with the exponentially falling cost curve of the infrastructure components and processes. In the Green New Deal, infrastructure is potentially participatory and democratized and always metamorphosing into new patterns if overseen by commons governance rather than private corporate governance in each region

expense of the efficient operation of the infrastructure they are charged with building and managing. ESCOs: The Business Model for a Green New Deal There is, however, an alternative course that would allow Green New Deal public-private partnerships to flourish, and it has a twenty-five-year track record of success. The business model is

graduated tax penalties will need to be established for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional infrastructure transitions in every municipality, county, and state to encourage the Green New Deal transformation. Whether we are talking about transitioning the public or private infrastructure from a dirty fossil fuel–laden society to a clean green society, the

the public-private partnership between local governments and ESCOs is likely to have the biggest impact, by helping these at-risk communities transition into the Green New Deal infrastructure and take advantage of the new business and employment opportunities that accompany it, while simultaneously addressing the growing public health emergency precipitated by climate

in recovery efforts in local communities, working alongside federal government troops and state National Guards. Nineteenth, the federal government, states, municipalities, and counties should prioritize Green New Deal business opportunities in the most disadvantaged communities and provide appropriate training for the new employment opportunities that come with the scale-up of the green

public and private universities and research institutes in joint R&D collaborations to advance the transition into the green energies and sustainable technologies of a Green New Deal Third Industrial Revolution. Twenty-second, the various departments and agencies of the federal government, in tandem with state governments, should establish an accelerated time frame

of State Legislatures, the United States Conference of Mayors, and the National Association of Counties should pass resolutions calling on each state to voluntarily establish Green New Deal “peer assemblies” made up of elected officials of the cities and counties and representatives from local chambers of commerce, labor unions, economic development agencies, public

staff an operational center whose sole purpose is to organize and coordinate peer assemblies across their cities and counties for the express purpose of preparing Green New Deal roadmaps customized to each locality’s goals, needs, and existing green sustainability programs and initiatives. Again, while the federal government provides some infrastructure funding, states

institutes, think tanks, research institutes, and local charitable foundations to provide valuable expertise from across the academic and professional disciplines. Within six months of establishing Green New Deal peer assemblies, the governor and legislature of each state should convene their own weeklong emergency conference with several thousand city and county peer assembly representatives

in attendance. The conference should cover all the various aspects of a Green New Deal mobilization, including the preparation of city and county roadmaps, deployment and financing, and best practices and expert technical assistance from across the state and beyond

deliberations and receive feedback and assistance. After the ten-month process, each municipality and county peer assembly will publish an extensive roadmap detailing its customized Green New Deal plan and next steps for initiating financing and local deployment of green infrastructure megaprojects. They will also share their views on the codes, regulations, standards

remain attached to the dying fossil fuel infrastructure of the twentieth century. City, county, and state governments might want to establish websites to share their Green New Deal roadmap deliberations and deployments in real time across America. Engendering a nationwide dialogue on best practices and accompanying opportunities and challenges can spin off multiple
