Gov. Inslee: ‘We Are Going To Be in for a World of Hurt’ if Don’t Address Climate Change in the Next 8 Years

‘I want to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did everything I could to prevent the climate crisis from degrading their lives’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "There are only a million electric cars on the road right now in the United States. We sell 17 to 20 million cars a year."
INSLEE: "And in 1940, there were only 70 jeeps made in the United States. And within four years, we’ve made 640,000 jeeps."
SMITH: "What if even some of your goals are not achieved in, say, the next decade?"
INSLEE: "Well, if we do not, in the next administration, make this job one, we are going to be in for a world of hurt. When my time is up. I want to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did everything I could to prevent the climate crisis from degrading their lives."
