The Three-Term Governor Who Took On Big Oil

Jay Inslee

Jay Inslee spent three terms as Washington's governor and eight terms in Congress fighting for clean energy — and he's not done yet. He sits down with David Fenton to break down the Trump administration's fossil fuel-funded assault on clean energy, and the playbook Progressives need to fight back. Inslee, who made climate change the central issue of his 2020 presidential run and went on to sign Washington's landmark Climate Commitment Act, lays out his "four C's" framework for talking to voters: cost, chaos, corruption, and climate denial. He also details the oil industry's current push for legal immunity from climate liability lawsuits, the explosive growth in clean energy in the state of Washington despite federal rollbacks, and why he believes Democrats can win on this issue if they stop hushing it.
