Jay Inslee in ABC This Week interviews during 2019

On Energy & Oil: We're the optimists: can invent and create solutions

We're the optimists in this debate, we know we can invent and create and build a clean energy economy. We know we can do that because we're doing it in my state where we've built a wind turbine industry from $0 to $6 billion in 12 years, we're electrifying our transportation fleet. Two days ago my legislature passed, my 100 percent clean grid bill. We're making progress like crazy in my state. Source: ABC This Week 2019 interview of presidential hopefuls Mar 3, 2019

On Energy & Oil: The real costs of climate change comes from doing nothing

People are going to bear this burden, particularly front line communities, marginalized communities who are going to be flooded and burned out. In my state, our kids could not go outside because we had the worst air quality in the world. So there's a huge cost to our economy, to our health, to our national security if we do not act but there's an enormous economic advantage by embracing clean energy.
