John,

On a sunny May day, Governor Inslee signed into law the strongest 100% Clean Energy law in the nation. This precedent-setting law will transition our electricity grid to clean energy in a way that reduces climate pollution, invests in Washington’s workers, and addresses historic inequities as part of the foundation for transitioning our economy to clean and renewable energy.

You called, emailed, and showed up to talk with your legislators and they listened when they passed this legislation. Now, Washington is demonstrating that the transition to a fossil-free electricity grid is technically possible, economically viable, politically smart, and a key driver for new jobs and economic growth.

Since Spring, we have been working with state agencies and partners to ensure the 100% Clean law is implemented the right way. And now, we need you to weigh in and make sure that happens - send in a comment today!

Under the 100% Clean law, all electric utilities in Washington must provide assistance to low-income households. The Legislature recognized that the inequitable burden of energy costs is making it harder for folks to make ends meet.

Now, the Department of Commerce is about to issue guidance to utilities on how to make sure this assistance makes a difference in reducing energy burden. Send a comment today to let them know that energy assistance for low-income households is important to you!

The 100% Clean Energy law will help us face the impacts of climate change by making our energy system fairer and more just. We need your help to make sure that happens.

Thank you for all you do,

Eleanor Bastian
Climate and Clean Energy Policy Manager
