Solar Washington Endorses I-1631
(June 26, 2018) - Solar Washington endorses Washington Ballot Initiative 1631. If it makes the ballot and is passed by the voters in November, the Act would reduce carbon pollution by investing in clean air, clean energy, such as wind and solar, clean water, healthy forests, and healthy communities. Investments would be funded by imposing a fee on large emitters based on their pollution related to the consumption of fossil fuels. This is Washington's part to address climate change.
