Gov. Inslee readies $600M stepped up plan to address climate change
OLYMPIA, Wash. (KOMO) — After much of Washington state baked during last summer's extreme heat before being put on ice during this winter's deep freeze, Gov. Jay Inslee is ramping up his administration's effort to respond to the planet's changing climate.
The governor is proposing to spend $626 million for climate protection, funding that would be allocated to reduce carbon emissions from buildings, invest in clean energy and transportation and appropriate $100 million toward rebates for buyers of electric vehicles.
But some Republicans are concerned about where the money for Inslee's plans would come from.
Even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor said the state cannot lose sight of the much longer-term threat to the planet.
