Presidential hopeful Jay Inslee wants 100% clean energy by 2030
Democratic presidential hopeful Jay Inslee, as part of his pledge to make combating climate change the top national priority, is calling for the nation's entire electrical grid and all new vehicles and buildings to be carbon pollution free by 2030.
Inslee, who announced his campaign in March, has not yet attached a public or private cost estimate for a wide-ranging approach that would involve some direct federal spending, tax subsidies and outlays by utilities and the private sector. He argues that doing nothing would cost more and that investments in clean energy will create millions of jobs to spur the economy, with that developing market and targeted government programs ensuring a stable transition for existing coal workers.
Trump has called climate change a"Chinese hoax," and he used a cold snap that hit much of the nation in January to again cast doubts, tweeting,"People can't last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming ? Please come back fast, we need you!" But the Pentagon and the Republican president's intelligence team have mentioned climate change as a national security threat.He emphasizes that many U.S.
— Utilities would be required to achieve 100% carbon neutral electricity production by 2030 and reach zero-emission production by 2035. Inslee proposes refundable tax credits to help spur the development, and his plan calls for"guaranteeing support" for existing energy sector workers who lose jobs or otherwise are negatively affected in a transition to clean energy.
