Gov. Inslee is insane and so is that clown from the Cascadia Crazies Commune.

Washington State’s beautiful trees need Carbon Dioxide in order to grow, so these aholes want to deprive them of their needed chemicals.

Makes sense if you are a Democrat in Washington State, or Oregon, or California.

To the rest of us sane and rational people, it doesn’t.

1. The Grand Coulee Dam on Washington’s Columbia River is the largest hydroelectric power producer in the United States, with a total generating capacity of 6,809 megawatts.
2. In 2013, Washington was the leading producer of electricity from hydroelectric sources and produced 29% of the nation’s net hydroelectricity generation.
3. Washington ranked 10th in the nation in net generation of electricity from wind energy in 2013.
4. In 2013, Washington had the lowest residential electricity prices in the nation and the lowest combined electricity price across all sectors.

NOW explain to me why we need this executive order, Governor.

My God. Washington State is maybe 2 or 3 years away from being California.

Washington State that is controlled by urban corridor liberals managed to elect a governor who was a do noting member of congress and has the support of the environmental lobby. He took over from Chris Gregoire who believed, as Barack Obama does, that legislative processes are an inconvenience.

He is as insulated as Obama in that our legislature tips his way and the idea of veto powers rescinding his order is a non-starter.

Six years ago this state raised it gas tax in what was sold as a budget cure for deferred maintenance resulting from political budget games that sucked the coffers dry.

If this XO stands the revenue would be huge and the chances of monitoring how it is spent would be minimal.

IMO, any governor that shakes things up like this by EO, should be impeached.

Let the process work. By doing this, he is subverting the charter of the state government.

EOs are supposed to be house-keeping and emergency related.

This is just chicken—— ruthless behavior.

In Washington, the last governor developed a radical environmental plan with her chief of staff. When It stalled in the legislature, he told her that she could probably do it with an executive order. She did.

She put him in charge of the Department of Ecology and gave him the power to both make regulations AND enforce them.

"... IIRC, they do not consider hydro power to be "green" and "renewable" and thus not eligible for kickbacks and subsidies..."

You would be correct. And to top it off when they have to shut the wind mills down because at times there is to much energy for the grid to handle we have to pay for the time the wind mills are down. Also they are ruining the looks of our state and now I saw on the news where they are considering putting wind mills in the National Forest of Eastern Oregon.

Now we know why CONOCOPHILLIPS sold the Ferndale refinery to PETROGAS.

It wasn’t the Ferndalevrefinery that was sold, it was a facility in Tacoma.

Since Boeing makes nasty CO2 generating machines they should move out of Washington so as not to sully their Green Dream.

Excellent...shove that up their smelly Alinsky.

They started the Hubris when Obama was elected. 2016 will tell us where Americans stand
and our future. A wave of Treasonous charges need to be sent across our Country.
