Tree Top is no different.
“Washington state’s electrical providers are already among the highest in the
nation, and the world, in providing low-carbon power through hydroelectric,
wind, and solar. Some of Tree Top’s facilities receive as much as 98 percent of
their electricity from renewable sources,” Cary said.
These are just some of the many examples of environmental stewardship by
Washington employers, Houskeeper said.
“Washington’s strength lies in its ability to innovate and the shared value
of clean air, water and land,” Houskeeper said. “It’s no secret Washington’s
employers have played a key role in making the state the cleanest and greenest
place to live, work and raise a family.”
Nevertheless, the clash of two very different viewpoints will collide and, no
doubt, create confusion among voters this November when they are asked to
approve or reject I-732, a policy that could put a costly hit on Washington’s
economy.
“The carbon tax would create a competitive
disadvantage by adding fuel and operating
costs that are not shared by competitors in
other states, or competitors
internationally.”
