The Pacific Northwest needs to add 11 GW of new power capacity by 2032 to keep the lights on.
It took us 10 years to add the last 10 GW.
Now we need more than that in six — with federal support gutted and WA/OR ranking among the slowest states for clean energy adoption.

Badger Mountain Solar just walked away after 5 years in WA's permitting process. 200 MW of clean power, hundreds of union jobs, gone.

Fix transmission delays. Use the PEIS framework. Require DAHP engagement early. Align agency guidance with our 2030 deadlines.

WA phased out coal. Added wind + solar. Went big on EVs and heat pumps.
But most of that clean power is generated east of the Cascades, and the transmission lines west are jammed.
The fix is giant batteries, sited where demand is. Without them, the clean energy transition fails.

Washington just linked its carbon market with California & Québec — and it's a landmark win for working families.
The CCA is on track for $9B in economic output and 45,000 jobs in 8 years. Linkage accelerates all of it.
Union workers build this state and our future too. 🔧⚡
