Sanders: Renewable energy produced from GND will be publicly owned

That is, the Green New Deal. Publicly owned energy, wow. Sanders' agenda really is a transition to the collaborative commons. See Sanders' climate plan here.

Sanders: "We will end greed in our energy system. The renewable energy generated by the Green New Deal will be publicly owned.”

"Sanders’ plans for public ownership don’t stop at electricity. He would also allocate funds to massively increase public broadband projects to give people access to a new and necessary public good: the internet."

"The future is public. It is accountable to the principles of environmental justice. It is democratic. It is decommodified. Sanders’ plan is the latest to set the bar for a new economy shepherded in by the green energy transition. We learned long ago that private interests won’t solve for climate and justice at the same time—that change will have to come from united and empowered people. Now, this realization is firmly on the presidential political agenda."
