Democrat Jay Inslee, Running On ‘Climate Change’, Realizes That No One Really Cares In Practice

In theory, Democrats care about ‘climate change’, so he’s released his own 5 point plan, which is primarily about taking away your use of fossil fuels while he and other big wigs run around the country using a lot of fossil fuels

Jay Inslee unveils 5-point plan to fight climate change

Democratic presidential hopeful Jay Inslee announced a five-pronged plan Monday that’s geared to fight climate change change by ending fossil fuel pollution.

The Washington governor’s plan calls for the end of fossil fuel subsidies, would ban new federal leases for drilling, phase out fossil fuel production, reject new fossil fuel infrastructure and improve corporate climate transparency.

The Democrat’s plan puts climate action at the heart of US. foreign policy, and its goal would be to create 100 percent clean electricity, energy efficient cars and buildings while phasing out all coal plants. It will also create 8 million new jobs in infrastructure, manufacturing and innovation over the next decade, Inslee said.

Most of Inslee’s plans did not work to well while he was actually pretending to be the governor of Washington. Most were shot down in referendums. It is a silly plan, but, then, what would you expect.

But, here’s also Jay

Jay Inslee: ‘I Got a Whole Nother Story to Tell’

On Monday afternoon in the Everglades, Governor Jay Inslee of Washington was on a boat, using his phone to take a photo of an alligator. He was on his way to unveil his latest 2020 campaign initiative: a plan to completely end America’s use of fossil fuels—very on-brand for the Democratic candidate who’s all about climate change. Come Wednesday night, when he takes the stage for the first Democratic debates in Miami, Inslee will try to expand that brand.

Running as the Climate Guy helped Inslee make a splash in a primary field crowded with almost every type of Democrat. He picked a losing fight with the Democratic National Committee over its refusal to host a climate-change-only debate, a fight that has helped him win attention among environmentalists and stick-it-to-the-man enthusiasts alike. But Inslee knows that for as much as primary voters say they care about climate change, he’d probably have trouble getting them to support a single-issue presidential nominee, particularly in a field as diverse as this one.

So Climate Guy knows it’s time to branch out. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is the only top-polling candidate who’ll be on stage with Inslee Wednesday night, and his campaign believes he has an opportunity to stand out, one that he wouldn’t were he sharing the stage with former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Senator Kamala Harris of California, and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who are all slated for Thursday night’s debate.

“Climate change is not a single issue, number one,” Inslee told me, sitting at a picnic table in a park outside Cedar Rapids, Iowa, recently, as he ticked through climate change’s impacts on health, national security, food, and more. “And number two, I got a whole nother story to tell,” he began. “Which is one of the most, if not the most, successful governors—with the most successful economy, with the most progressive successes. I got notches on my belt. I got bills to pass, and jobs I’ve created. And every single thing that the other aspirants have talked about, almost everything I can think of, I’ve done. So every speech they’ve given, I’ve passed a bill. I put somebody to work. I’ve financed a college education. I got the Dreamers paid for. I’ve done criminal justice reform. I’ve even made it safe for composting after you’ve passed from this earth.”

In other words, Jay has realized that this Hotcoldwetdry schitck is not working. In most polls he’s at a whopping 1%. And a guy with his experience would be polling higher, you would think, right? He is a governor. He’s been the Guy In Charge.

But, then, in practice, most Democrats do not care that about ‘climate change’, they want candidates who screech at Trump and push insane policies in an insane manner. Jay is rather mild mannered. Will he start yammering about eliminating college loans debt and medicare for all and amnesty and stuff? Might as well. ‘Climate change’ ain’t working.
