The progressive bloc of House Democrats supporting a "Green New Deal" have a warning for their more moderate colleagues: Don't get in the way of creating a "Strong" climate committee.
New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone and other top Democrats oppose creating a House climate change committee, preferring to shepherd any related legislation through the existing committee structure.
Khanna and Democrats supporting the so-called "Green New Deal" want a House climate committee that's just as strong as others, meaning subpoena power and the authority to introduce bills.
The "Green New Deal" being pushed by incoming New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is backed by more than 40 Democrats.
The plan calls for a House committee to draft "Green New Deal" legislation to move the U.S. to 100 percent green energy.
Khanna, a "Green New Deal" supporter, said empowering a House climate committee with subpoena powers would help other committees.
