Jay Inslee Calls For “Radical” Permanent Ban On Fossil Fuels And Fracking

When the far left news site Vox is calling you a radical, perhaps you’ve gone off the deep end. That’s how they’re treating a new policy rollout from Washington Governor and floundering 2020 Presidential candidate Jay Inlsee. Inslee has been running a single-issue campaign on climate change. Yesterday, he outlined phase four of his energy plan, and it’s one of the most ridiculous proposals of any of the 2020 candidates. Even Vox says the plan is “the most radical piece yet” and is “likely to be the most controversial.” Inslee’s goal is simple: ban fossil fuels and fracking. Inslee wants to pass legislation to get…

Liberals Quash Environmental Debate

Over the weekend, a new firestorm began brewing on the left after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced that it would not hold a “climate debate” as part of the upcoming 2020 presidential debates. Washington Governor and 2020 candidate Jay Inslee had requested the single-issue debate as a way to brandish his left-wing credentials. But on Saturday, chair Tom Perez said that the climate debate was not “practical,” after being pressured by eco-activists to weigh in. Inslee’s campaign pounced on Perez’s refusal to hold a climate debate, saying it diminishes “the organizing effort of our partner progressive organizations who have been demanding…

Carbon Tax Lover Jay Inslee Ranked “Best” By Greenpeace

If you love wanting to impose regressive carbon taxes on vulnerable families, then Greenpeace will love you back. That’s the message from the eco-extremist group, after they announced their 2020 scorecard ranking Washington Governor and 2020 presidential candidate Jay Inslee the “best” candidate for the eco-left. They gave Inslee their highest score, an A-. Greenpeace says Inslee “has laid out the most detailed plan of any candidate so far that’s right in line with a Green New Deal, and championed bold action as governor of Washington state.” “Bold action” is one way to describe the devastating tax hikes Jay Inslee…

Washington State Embraces Hidden Carbon Tax

Eco-activists are parading around the country promoting “clean energy” and 100 percent renewable energy mandates. They might sound good as political talking points, but they’re actually backdoor carbon taxes that hurt the most vulnerable. Just this week, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a law requiring his state to move to 100 percent clean energy. Remember, Inslee is waging a long-shot presidential campaign based on being an eco-warrior. This is just the latest in his long line of promoting extreme eco policy. In fact, as Power The Future has noted, Inslee has tried and failed multiple times to force through a carbon tax…

Jay Inslee’s Extreme Environmental Plan Puts a Bullseye on Working Families

We’ve told you how Washington Governor Jay Inslee has repeatedly tried and failed to force his dangerous eco-agenda on the people of his state. He kept pushing carbon taxes on Washington, only to see voters rise up and defeat him. Then, Inslee launched a longshot Presidential bid, based almost exclusively on extreme eco-policy. Inslee’s presidential launch video was exclusively about global warming, and Axios explained that his policies would be “climate-focused.” Today, Inslee delivered on that promise, rolling out an environmental plan that’s making the “army” behind the “Green New Deal” swoon. Inslee hopes to use the “federal government’s regulatory power” to destroy America’s energy…

Hopeful “Climate President” Jay Inslee Stumped By Basic Question On Recycling

If you haven’t heard – and you probably haven’t – Washington Governor Jay Inslee is running for president. Additionally, he’s making environmentalism his signature issue. He thinks that embracing the eco-left is his ticket to the presidency, and he hopes he can become the “First Climate President.” Despite his apparent green credentials, Inslee was apparently dumbfounded at one of the most basic questions you can ask an environmentalist – how to recycle. During a CNN town hall this week, Inslee was asked how he’d improve the recycling system. As CNN explains, it was a “curious” moment for the candidate “whose campaign is almost entirely…

Jay Inslee Makes Eco-Extremism His Presidential Campaign Platform

This morning, Washington Governor Jay Inslee made it official – he’s running for president, and he believes an eco-extremist platform is his ticket to victory. Inslee’s presidential launch video is exclusively about global warming, and Axios explains that his policies will be “climate-focused.” Already, Inslee’s policy proposals sound just like the “Green New Deal,” with “100% clean energy” and “fighting for environmental justice and economic inclusion” for low-income communities. But take one look at Inslee’s record in Washington, and you’ll see that his plans would have decimated low-income communities if the state’s residents didn’t step up to stop them. Inslee made forcing…
