A big thing happened in May at the start of the summer: Washington State joined California, Oregon and British Columbia in passing a Clean Fuel Standard into law, creating one of the largest clean fuels markets in the world. This means we can power more vehicles big and small with low and zero-pollution fuels, such as clean electrons and sustainably produced biofuels.

This is an incredible win for Washington, our lungs, our community and our climate. You made this possible. Spread the word today—we can beat the oil industry.
