They Said It

It takes all of us to protect our communities, local economy and environment. Together, we know that Washington can lead the way in developing a strong clean energy economy that provides high-wage jobs without leaving our current workforce behind. We’re committed to environmental initiatives that make sense, are cost-effective and bring us all together.

Our environmental future is in green hydrogen. By turning water into clean fuel, green hydrogen is sustainable, storable and a viable form of energy. Using our existing infrastructure, this technology can create profitable jobs, foster innovation that will spur our local economy and push our state to be energy independent.
