Inslee unveils new plan to tackle climate change head on in WA Dec 16, 2020
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says thereâs no silver bullet for the climate, so heâs pushing a sweeping package of policies to lower the stateâs carbon footprint, economy-wide.
âWe need to move forward with these strong steps if we are going to meet our legislatively adopted requirements and our moral obligations to ourselves and our grandchildren,â Inslee said during a press conference on Tuesday.
His proposed legislation would cap carbon dioxide emissions from big polluters, make automobile fuels more climate-friendly, and phase out fossil fuel use in new buildings over the course of a decade.
