More quotes by Jay Inslee
Now is the time to scrub ideology out of the energy discussion, so we can make bi-partisan progress towards investing in a shared and better future.
Jay Inslee
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.
Jay Inslee
When we design our national R&D programs, we ought to ensure a place for the small, the new, and the cutting-edge.

Jay Inslee
If this ice melts in Greenland it can shut down the Gulf Current.
Jay Inslee
There is no excuse for this administration shielding information about Iraq and the fact that we have great difficulties there from the American people.
Jay Inslee
I am not one for half measures or half-hearted efforts.
Jay Inslee
But most importantly, we can all be donors. It does not matter how old you are, your race, where you live all of us can give the gift of life.
Jay Inslee
A lot of people do not think of forests as a health issue, but we have found out that is where our clean water comes from, from the forests.
Jay Inslee
Things are difficult enough about Iraq without the Federal Government suppressing the truth about Iraq.
Jay Inslee
I talk about reducing our dependence on foreign oil. If we're buying electricity from a solar-thermal plant in Tijuana, I'm not sure we should say that's evil. If we are buying wind power from Alberta, I don't have a huge objection to that.
Jay Inslee
Healing is a moral thing to do.
