Jay Inslee and Carbon Emissions

Since being elected in 2012, Inslee has pushed a combination of taxes and regulations - costing the state plenty -  with the goal of reducing carbon emissions.

Since 2012, emissions are up 40%.  Since their peak, seven years into his term, they have dropped 14%.  Much of this may have been pandemic related, who knows?
