" The climate crisis is not a single issue, it’s every issue.

It’s the economy.

It’s healthcare.

It’s our nation’s security.

It’s every issue and the one that is most urgent."

Inslee has since unveiled two major climate change proposals. One would require “zero-emission” electricity generation across the U.S. by 2035.

The other calls for the federal government to invest $3 trillion over a decade to upgrade buildings, create “climate-smart infrastructure,” encourage “clean manufacturing,” and research “next-generation” energy technologies.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York, one of the authors of the Green New Deal, recently tweeted that Inslee’s plans were “the most serious + comprehensive” of any of the candidate’s.
