Jay Inslee - Clean Energy
Bainbridge Island resident Jay Inslee is currently serving his seventh term in Congress. Together with Bracken Hendricks he has written
Appollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy (2007). In it he argues that improved federal policies could make the U.S. less dependent on fossil fuel, reduce global warming, and benefit the economy by creating green-collar jobs. Actor Robert Redford says of the book: "For those of you who want to move beyond the doom and gloom of the global warming dialogue,
Apollo's Fire fits the bill. Set in a frame of optimism and urgency, this book thinks big and shows that innovation, curiosity, and imagination already are driving the beginnings of an Apollo-like leap toward necessary solutions. The authors' sweeping and attainable vision for America's energy independence shows we can once again reach for higher goals and succeed." For more information check
