Energy: Environmentally Acceptable Choices for Washington State

Welcome to the proceedings of our sixth annual symposium, Energy: Environmentally Acceptable Choices for Washington State. We are increasingly dependent on energy in our daily lives — from living room lighting, to transportation, to products manufactured in huge plants. The heat is on, with climate change and the growing evidence of its negative impacts in our state. Washington has legislation in place to obtain 15 percent of our electricity from new renewable energy resources by 2020. Governor Inslee has made addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gases a top priority. As the state’s energy mix continues to evolve, the speakers share their expertise of where we stand and how we might best move forward.
