Washington Governor Seeks Plan To Limit Carbon Emissions

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday directed the state Department of Ecology to develop a plan to cap carbon emissions in the state and to increase enforcement of existing pollution laws, saying that the state can't wait for legislative action to address climate change. "Carbon pollution and the climate change it causes pose a very real and existential threat to our state," Inslee said in a written statement. The plan to cap emissions would ensure the state met limits set by the Legislature in 2008, Inlsee's office said.
