The Governor has offered us one last chance to make some progress on global warming and reducing fossil fuel dependence in the 2009 Legislature. Her common sense approach is focused on the important basics: 1) less coal, and 2) more transportation choices.

The State Legislature has generally blown it on global warming so far this year. They failed to move legislation that would cap global warming pollution and actually voted to weaken voter approved renewable energy standards.

This is the last chance to make some headway on global warming in Olympia this year, and we have to make sure legislators keep their eyes on the prize. We absolutely can't afford to let the "do nothing" lobby carry the day.

This important legislation will drive action to reduce Washington's dependence on fossil fuels and help to deliver real reductions in our global warming pollution. The Global Warming Bill, E2SSB 5735, will require Washington's one coal plant to clean up its global warming pollution no later than 2025; require transportation plans for urban areas that improve transportation choices so commuters and families will have the option to leave their cars at home; and keep Washington engaged in the Western Climate Initiative, a regional effort to reduce global warming pollution.

The Governor's Global Warming Bill will help move Washington State away from dirty fossil fuels and help Washington prepare for the green economy.

Make sure our legislators support progress. They need to hear from you now. Click here to contact your legislator: http://www.fusewashington.org/page/speakout/climatechange573
