Cap and Invest

By implementing real limits on global warming pollution, we can create new jobs and stimulate the growth of a clean energy economy here in Washington State. This effort implements the cap on climate pollution the Legislature adopted last year.  Emitters would pay for pollution permits, and the new revenue would be invested to reduce fossil fuel dependence, create green jobs and spur new clean-tech innovation, while providing assistance to moderate- and low-income households struggling with high energy costs.

Through state action, we can reduce global warming pollution in a manner that benefits Washington’s economy, protects Washington’s interests in the national climate policy debate. and positions us for success in the new clean energy economy.
