Climate and clean-energy action in Washington

Summary of and updates on climate and clean-energy policy in Washington State

Power Past Coal

PPC_McKibbenCoal companies are targeting Northwest Ports as the gateway for coal export terminals that would send staggering quantities of U.S. coal to Asia. While Washington invests in clean technology jobs for wind, wave, and solar energy, the coal export terminals would reverse major commitments to reduce the state’s contribution to global warming pollution. We won’t let Washington become a way station for dirty coal.

While this session will be dominated by the state’s budget situation, Climate Solutions is excited to support several pieces of legislation that, if passed, will grow the state’s clean-energy economy and reduce global warming pollution.

One of our top priorities is passing legislation to authorize Mileage-Based Insurance. Please call your legislators at 1.800.562.6000 and ask them to support Representative Ryu’s mileage-based insurance bill.

Stand up for clean air - Take Action!

Our clean air laws have been protecting and improving Americans' lives for 40 years. With the failure of Congress to make progress on reducing global warming pollution, the Clean Air Act is Americans best safeguard for federal action on climate change. Now the same people who are trying to take away the clean air assurances we’ve had since the 1970s are also trying to prevent the EPA from reducing global warming pollution. 

Call our Senators and ask them to oppose any attempts to weaken the Clean Air Act. Senator Cantwell (202) 224-3441 and Senator Murray (202) 224-2621
