Show Notes
Washington lawmakers successfully passed key climate bills, creating a new state transmission authority to expand grid capacity and meet growing demands from data centers and electric vehicles. They closed a loophole in the Clean Energy Transformation Act, forcing independent power suppliers for data centers to meet the 2045 emissions-free deadline. Other wins included lowering the carbon threshold for fuel suppliers and gradually reducing free carbon allowances for heavy industries. These moves aim to cut reliance on fossil fuels and keep rates affordable, while setting the stage for more grid builds and emissions fights ahead.
