Warren to Utility Companies Using Carbon-Based Fuel: '2035, You're Done'

Warren to Utility Companies Using Carbon-Based Fuel: '2035, You're Done'
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declined to go as far as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in calling for the public ownership of utilities during CNN’s climate change town hall Wednesday evening, but she said she will tell utility companies that use carbon-based fuel that they are “done” by 2035.
...“As president, would you be willing to call out capitalism in this way and advocate for the public ownership of our utilities?” the man asked.
“Gosh. You know, I’m not sure that that’s what gets you to the solution,” Warren said, expressing her willingness to take on “giant corporations” but refusing to take aim at Sanders’ position specifically. Instead, she said, she will simply tell those companies, “sorry guys, but by 2035, you’re done.”
