WASHINGTON - Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Friday outlined a plan to achieve 100% clean electricity, zero-emission new vehicles and zero-carbon buildings and retire the U.S. coal power plant fleet by 2030, aiming to position himself as the most aggressive Democratic candidate on climate change.
Inslee said he modeled his plan after some of the policies he has implemented as governor of Washington state. He described it as a 10-year mobilization to take on an urgent crisis. The targets include requiring all new light and medium duty vehicles and buses and all commercial and residential buildings to be zero-emission.
The plan reflects many principles of the Green New Deal, a bold set of policy goals introduced by congressional Democrats and pushed for by youth activists. The goal is to transform the U.S. energy economy to 100 percent renewable sources by 2030 with a boost from federal investments modern infrastructure and green job programs.
