The GND proposes mass solar and wind power, which is very expensive. It would take up acres of land, increase national debt, and maybe raise taxes! And kill lots of birds....
However it wouldn't destroy America in a doomsday way, and thats not what I meant in the first place. Ruin, makes more sense, and in a way is worse.
