AOC Proposes That We Burn Coal to Save the Planet
Politics · Jan 30, 2026 · BabylonBee.com

In what has been described as an effort to bring together both sides of the climate debate, progressive champion Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed a new solution to the climate crisis: burn more coal.

"This is a bold plan that would drastically reduce emissions while being a responsible use of our natural resources," said Ocasio-Cortez. "By burning coal, people can still access an affordable energy source and help lower emissions. It's win-win!" As the official website of her plan declared, 'AOC is lighting our future by burning the past.' Environmentalists quickly denounced the proposal, claiming that burning coal releases more carbon dioxide than other sources. Ocasio-Cortez fired back claiming that critics of the plan must have 'a stake in the oil industry or something.'
