Gov. Inslee unveils first of many climate proposals for 2020
By Miranda Green - 05/03/19 08:00 AM EDT


Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) unveiled his first proposal on climate policy on Friday, saying that if eleced president he will work to transition the U.S. electric grid, vehicles and buildings to run on 100 percent clean energy.

It’s the first in a series of climate-focused proposals the 2020 candidate said he intends to roll out in the coming weeks.

Inslee is basing his presidential campaign on a "climate mission" agenda to battle global warming and create jobs over the next decade.

Inslee's is the fourth climate plan to be offered by a Democrat in the White House race. The others have come from Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Cory Booker (N.J.) and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (Texas).

The new plan aims for an energy grid that would be zero emissions and zero carbon use by 2030. It also aims for all new vehicles and buildings to be emission free by 2030.

Inslee would seek to close all coal-fired power plants in the U.S. to achieve the goal.

2. I like Inslee

Climate change is the most important subject we should be talking about, instead of attacking each others candidates. He is putting out information on how to fix the mess we are in due to changing weather patterns. I wish other posters would put out their candidates view on the "issues" also!
