Gov. Jay Inslee joined other Pacific Coast leaders in San Francisco on Thursday to collectively reaffirm their commitment to the fight against climate change.
The West Coast, they said, with its progressive policies and abundance of hydropower, is positioned to spearhead the country’s first zero-carbon economy through the popularization of electric vehicles and the implementation of forthcoming carbon markets.
“The Pacific Coast leads on virtually everything in social and economic development, and we are yet again leading the world and the nation when it comes to the development of a clean energy economy,” Inslee said on Thursday.
He was joined by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and British Columbia Premier John Horgan. On Thursday, the four renewed an agreement last signed in 2016 to jointly pursue decarbonization, clean energy, green jobs, environmental justice and disaster preparedness.
This includes, among other things, policy efforts to increase charging stations along the West Coast, develop a power grid that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels and improve the region’s defenses against heat waves, drought and wildfire.

What happened? Did their subscription run out?
Climate is Natural ,LOL
Well good luck with that 🤣
They are fighting against our freedoms via these manufactured crisis.
“leaders”? I don’t think it means what they think it means. 🤔😂😂😂😂👎
Liberals
“We are going to fight thunderstorms by yelling at the clouds and taxing people from cradle to grave”
If the abundance of hydro power they are touting in the article is so abundant, why do they have brown and black outs?? My prediction, on the current path, the west coast will look like North Korea at night.
Fighting make believe beats solving real problems.
Specifically, in plain English, exactly how and what they intend to do to fight climate change? The climate is God’s doing and His work. Only He can change the climate.
Let me guess—they flew to the conference in private jets...
;-)
Besides God, only "Montgomery Burns" has been able to control the sun.
“implementation of forthcoming carbon markets.“
And there it is, this is the loophole the ruling class will be using to keep their private jets and mansions. They will use tax deductible “contributions” to get carbon offsets.
I have been selling tons of firewood so people can afford to stay warm….and afford electricity to charge up their electric cars.
We are going to have such clean air and will change the weather…..yeah ok.
Dems need to be decarbed
Washington state is a superfund site. How could anybody live there? That’s like living on the lake that’s actually a nuclear reactor cooling pond.
...forthcoming carbon markets? WTF does that mean?
New gas tax of $0.50 come January.
The governors of the western states will, as always, do whatever Newsom the Vile, with his JFK Jr. complex, commands them to do.
