Jay Inslee

We have to take on the fossil fuel industry and make sure that we transition to a clean energy economy.

We are in a race against time when it comes to climate change, and the next president has to take bold action immediately.

We must confront the fossil fuel industry. I've been working on this for 25 years.

These states have never told undocumented people that when they apply for a driver's license they are also turning over their face to ICE. That is a huge bait and switch.

We can't afford to ignore climate change any longer.

We are tired of breathing smoke from Mississippi.

Jobs going overseas and I don't want to see that. I want to see these jobs right here and I hope this Congress will help me do that.

We want the rest of the world that is moving forward to know that we are still moving forward in our country and we are.

I look forward to that happy day when the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt is here on both sides.

We know that over the next several decades we need to build a new clean energy system in the United States and worldwide.

There is a greater risk that we will lose jobs because we are not capturing here and they go to China and Germany.

I would--I would invite you to come meet the people who are having trouble breathing because of coal-fired electricity pollution.

The first order of business is to set a goal, and the goal----

I support research and development in multiple fields to try to develop other----

Efficiency, solar power, hydro, public transportation, electric cars, biofuel--the whole mix.

In our State, we are closing the remaining coal-fired plant.

Well, you can adopt federally what we have adopted, which will create a demand for these new careers.

We want to make sure they are. So we are building whole new apprenticeship protocols for development in our community colleges with our unions.

Our voters were wise enough to pass something I backed, which was a provision that says you basically needed 15 percent of your utilities to develop from these clean energy sources.

We are on track to our ultimate goal and, by the way, I forgot to mention we do intend--we hope to build the first electric ferries what I believe will be the Western Hemisphere.

We have a whole host of alternatives that provide us cleaner transportation systems.

Storage is part of the solution--a big part.

So Mr. Long was talking about electric cars and I think electric cars are kind of an interesting example...

Solar is coming down 80 percent. Wind is coming down 20 percent. Now we need to continue the improvement of battery technology and that is happening.

One of the things we are really proud of is the development of systems that can manage the grid much more effectively to integrate renewable energy.
