Bill Flores: “His Department of Ecology has a heavy hand on Eastern Washington, enforcing these unattainable water quality standards.”

With all due respect to my colleague, I don't think he understands my amendment. Nuclear energy has zero emissions. Hydrogen has zero emissions. Natural gas has much-reduced emissions compared to coal. The advantage of nuclear energy is it…

The Governor's focus on these unattainable water quality standards and efforts to tear out the Snake River dams are a distraction.

We cannot get the permits that we need.
