...isn't a good parallel for the environmental problem of Climate change.
The U.S. is setting some good examples with Tesla electric vehicles, solar and battery energy, many wind farms and much solar energy development in general.
But we can, and should, do much more.
True; there's many wealthy Americans who are pushing the fossil fuel agenda. The U.S.'s fuel tax is the lowest of any developed nation... cheaper gas keeps us "addicted".....and we still subsidize fracking and oil drilling more than solar and wind tech.
But China and India, the major world polluters...are also changing direction. A few years ago China was opening one Coal plant a week. Thanks in part to Al Gore visiting them...they're now closing one coal plant a week, and are years ahead of America in solar and wind technology.
Thus...Inslee is bold for making this his focus...but we're on it, and other progressives are already focusing on climate change...along with the bigger issue of health care. Energy business knows where the future profits are. Sanders has talked about climate change/global warming for decades.
Nice try, Jay...
