Big Oil executives think they’re above the law – and we should all be madder than hell about it. @climateintegrity.org insideclimatenews.org/news/0510202...

We electrified our home over the last two decades. State leaders should make it easier for every American to do the same.

Because the tech works for everyone. What doesn’t work for everyone is the upfront price tag. That’s a problem policy can solve.

As Boulder's attorney put it, this case isn't about emissions; it's about deception, and I'd add that it's about democracy.

Carved above the Court's entrance are the words "Equal justice under law." No one, and no company, is above the law. @climateintegrity.org

This week, I stood outside the Supreme Court as justices were hearing arguments in Suncor Energy v. Boulder. Oil companies that spent decades deceiving Americans about climate change are now asking the Court to bar cities and states from holding them accountable.

→ TX gets 37% of its electricity from clean energy.
→ WA's carbon market (now linked with CA's) has put more than $5B back into communities.
→ And Big Oil executives want to make sure no jury ever holds them accountable.

Trump promised to cut energy prices in half. Guess what? He lied. Voters won’t forget when they cast their ballots this November. 🗳️

Once again, Trump is giving away the future to China, where 50% of new cars are EVs.

Eliminating policies that encourage domestic EV manufacturing is like trying to win a race that we refuse to run. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Demand for power is surging like we haven't seen in decades. Families are opening utility bills with dread. Solar, wind, and batteries are the answer to both problems, delivering more power for less money – faster than anything else on the table. Clean energy is cheap energy. That’s just the facts.

@govjayinslee.bsky.socialSep 18, 2026, 7:28 PM

📈Coal is the most expensive power source in America
 📊 92% of new U.S. generating capacity added last year was clean energy
 ☀️ Solar alone made up over half of it Clean energy is cheap energy.

@govjayinslee.bsky.socialSep 18, 2026, 7:28 PM

The same corruption that allowed tobacco companies to buy political cover is playing out with coal—even as the math stopped making sense long ago.

@govjayinslee.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 8:38 PM

But I am also not surprised that Brian Heywood and his special interest benefactors were too braindead to write a constitutionally compliant initiative.

@govjayinslee.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 8:38 PM

Today, the Washington Supreme Court ruled I-2066 unconstitutional. Above all: This is a major victory for the health of Washingtonians, for our clean air and water, and for our utility bills—prevailing over the deception of corporate special interests and big polluters.

A despicable abdication of the EPA’s duty to the American people.

Trump's EPA just told fossil fuel power plants: pollute all you want. No limits. No consequences.

The market has already spoken: solar and wind beat coal and gas on cost. This was never about saving you money on your power bill. It's about protecting fossil fuel profits, while the rest of us breathe dirtier air, suffer devastating health impacts, and face runaway climate change. 

That's not a policy. It's a handout to the highest bidder and a despicable abdication of the EPA’s duty to the people.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11:

Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11. 

One of my most vivid memories from that day was watching the news with my staff in one of the House office buildings after the towers were hit. The anchor reported that another building in New York had been hit, showing a familiar horizon with a structure on fire. I remember being aghast, thinking, “That’s not New York, that’s DC.” 

I ran out of the building to see. It was the Pentagon, billowing with smoke. 

Many forget that there was a fourth plane, Flight 93, likely intended for the US Capitol. The people aboard that plane are heroes, storming the cockpit and fighting the hijackers after learning about the other attacks. During the struggle, the plane crashed in an empty field in Pennsylvania, killing all on board. They sacrificed their lives and saved countless others. I will never forget the people on that flight and their bravery. Charlie Greene’s father, Donald Greene, was aboard Flight 93, and his reflections on that day are something every American should read: 

“The heroes of that day showed us how to respond in our darkest hour. Our task now is to prove that, even 25 years later, we remember how to live together in the light.”

Apparently, for Trump and Republicans, "energy dominance" really means more money for them, higher energy costs for everyone else.

@govjayinslee.bsky.socialSep 9, 2026, 1:31 PM

Most of America’s electricity grid, for the better part of a century, has been "renting" its power one fuel shipment at a time.

Clean energy resources are the closest thing the grid has to home ownership. Read my latest: www.jayinslee.com/p/clean-ener...

"Clean energy is no-fuel-cost energy." Light switches with solar panels on them in the background.
