Jay Inslee's Washington Passes A Groundbreaking 100% Clean Electricity Bill

[ancianita]

Washington's SB 5116 aligns the interests of utilities, energy developers, and unions behind the project of equitable decarbonization. They all benefit from it. That makes them allies in the fight, rather than at loggerheads, as they have so often been in the past.

This reform ought to be a key piece of climate progress in every state.

First, it eliminates the old school fossil energy lobbyists; second it makes clean energy the space for preventing cascading climate change disasters, which are more costly for our taxpayers than any upfront reform to prevent climate change in the first place.

Inslee can now truthfully say that his state is a model of cutting-edge climate policy.

Americans should know the work of a candidate who's already implemented on his #1 presidential campaign issue.

Our grandchildren will thank him and the rest of us for voting for him.

There is wide recognition that humanity’s impact on the globe – in driving species to extinction, altering the chemistry of the world’s waters and air and shifting its climate.
