Oregon's Gov. Kotek just signed her SECOND executive order to fast-track clean energy & union jobs.
Washington is still waiting for its FIRST.
We are leaving federal dollars & family-wage jobs on the table every single day. The time for waiting is over. @GovFerguson, sign the executive order.

3/3: So what's our solution? Stop the infighting and BUILD.
➡️ Invest in our energy grid.
➡️ Champion innovative projects like clean fuels.
➡️ Create policies that support good union jobs.
A pro-worker, pro-growth future is possible, but we have to build it. #WAPol #WAUnionJobs #Infrastructure

2/3: Blocking data centers in WA is a lose-lose.

It sends thousands of good union jobs to other states.

It pushes the carbon emissions to places with weaker environmental laws and dirtier grids.

We can't export our jobs AND our climate responsibilities.

1/3: NEWS: We just filed a formal minority report, breaking with the state's Data Center Work Group.

Why? Their recommendations will kill thousands of good union jobs and are based on the false choice that we can't have both a strong economy and a clean environment. We disagree.

November is Men's mental health awareness month. It's time to talk about how in the, heavily male dominated, trades, there is a mental health crisis happening.

Stuck between ambition and action: Washington State can't have it both ways. What happens when you build a system to prevent harm instead of a system build to create solutions?

Let's talk about data centers, the value to union jobs, and what's at stake when we push them out.

Let's be clear: Data centers are not the problem. They are a scapegoat.
The REAL problem is Washington's failure to build enough clean energy to meet our goals. As our E.D. Cassie Bordelon says, we're "solving for the wrong problem."

WA's biggest climate champions are now the biggest threat to some of our state’s only consistent source of union construction jobs: Data Centers.

As Heather Kurtenbach of the WA Building Trades says, this is a dangerous sign for our entire economy.

Amid all of the bad news around the loss of funding to climate projects in Washington State, one company proves that they are not giving up and giving in.

The choice for WA is clear: bureaucratic gridlock or a future with good union jobs & reliable clean energy.

Our climate goals won't wait.

Our workers can't wait. It's time for our state's leaders to act and build the infrastructure we need.

The problem: A transmission traffic jam is blocking hundreds of clean energy projects.

The solution: Smart state-level action.

We need to invest in our grid & pass bills like #SB5466 to clear the path for clean energy & union jobs.

It's time to build.

WA's energy gridlock isn't an abstract problem. It means:
📈 Higher utility bills for your family.

⚠️ Increased risk of blackouts.

👷♂️ Good-paying union jobs stalled.

Inaction is costing us all. We need to clear the path for clean energy projects, now. #WAUnionJobs #WAPol

Washington calls itself a climate leader, but the numbers tell a different story.
Clean energy projects submitted for grid connection in the last decade: 469

Projects approved: 1

This isn't a plan; it's a crisis. Our goals are meaningless without action. #CleanEnergyWA #Gridlock

OR and CA are already fast-tracking clean energy jobs and investments. Washington is stuck in permitting delays, risking thousands of union jobs and billions in federal funds.

We need leadership, now. @GovFerguson, sign an executive order. Let's build our future.
