OLD AND BUSTED: Democrat presidential candidates promising to ban coal mines.

The New Hotness? NYC Mayor de Blasio: ‘We Are Going to Ban’ Glass and Steel Skyscrapers.

“We are going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers which are incredibly inefficient,” he continued. “If someone wants to build one of those things they can take a whole lot of steps to make it energy efficient, but we’re not going to allow what we’ve seen in the past.”

The mayor added that New York’s government is going to get all its energy from renewable sources “in the next five years.”

New York has already begun implementing some of those policies.

Last week, the New York City Council passed a bill enforcing strict new standards on large buildings with the goal of reducing their carbon footprint.

To be fair, de Blasio’s apparent goal of banning New York’s subway system also appears to be going remarkably well.

UPDATE: De Blasio tries to explain daily SUV trips amid pitch for his Green New Deal.
