it's not a tax, it's a fee. and remember: the Koch brothers make more in 1 day than you or I do in an entire year.
I'm Jesse Pettibone and you're watching dig deep. the show where we take a
complicated topic and make it easier. for the 2018 election:
come on down for the ballot bonanza
ballot bonanza
we're breaking down every single ballot measure
every single one.
in both Washington and Oregon
both states!
so you can vote smart
better. faster. stronger.
I spent hours reading ballotpedia and researching so
all you have to do is watch this video. I'll give you the background and the
facts and then I'll give you my scalding wit and researched opinions. you don't
have to vote how I do, but you sure as heck can't be ignorant. voting YES on
Voting YES on 1631 would invest more than $1billion per year in new revenue into
clean energy, energy efficiency, transportation, rural investments, water,
and more in order to address climate change
Voting NO on 1631 would leave us to face impending global disaster and
charge the fossil fuel industry nothing for it.
starting in 2020, Washington would
be investing more than $1billion each year into battling climate change
and helping the communities most impacted by it. of that $1billion,
70% is going to "clean air and clean energy." that's not just for new solar and
wind farms, energy efficiency, or electric vehicles. it also goes to help low-income
families pay for rising energy costs and help displaced fossil fuel workers in the new energy economy
you said people are going to lose their jobs
the new energy economy will actually be creating more than 40,000 jobs each year from
1631 investments alone. skilled labor, blue-collar jobs that are easily
transferred from building fossil fuel infrastructure to building sustainable
infrastructure. of that 70% or $700 million annually, there's a specific
break out for the people most screwed by climate change.
see along the way to
causing climate change oil companies polluted, extracted, and exploited certain
communities to get their fossil fuels and turn 'em
into energy. and now those same communities just happen to be the same
ones getting hit first and worst by climate change while having the least safeguards.
5% or $50 million annually must go to "healthy communities" which are
projects like helping battle increased wildfires, or relocating people on tribal
lands displaced by rising seas, and educational programs. this 5% has a huge
emphasis on rural communities which are legally required to be a part of the
rulemaking process for the investments because who knows better what's good for
a community than people in that community.
I think I know better. I am
the one with millions of dollars. yes, most of it was from my father and not
because I'm particularly smarter than anyone but I will wield it like I am.
the last 25% goes to "clean water and healthy forests." these projects are huge for
creating jobs and they're doing things that make our natural systems more
resilient to the oncoming impacts of climate change. things like restoring
estuaries, improving forest health, and even supporting the timber industry.
Hi, yeah I would like to host a video series covering these projects... not a
good use of funding? well fine I'll just apply for a public radio grant.
1631 would require companies to pay $15 per metric ton of CO2 they emit
starting in 2020. the fee would generate $100billion annually in the
first year and increase by $2 every year until Washington's emission goals
are met -- ideally in 2035.
not that we have that much time
if you implement this fee, we're gonna raise energy prices on people.
we are facing a global crisis, the
threat of which gets worse with every passing day. meanwhile, fossil fuel
companies have spent more than $20million on this campaign alone
and more than $30 million on a fracking campaign in Colorado. and they spent
plenty more stopping other legislation across the globe in the past, lobbying,
and investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure even
AFTER they knew climate change was a problem and then spent even more
money misleading the public about it for decades. so if we're gonna get mad at
anyone from raising energy costs, get mad at the fossil fuel industry for wasting
so much time and money when they knew it wouldn't last because they
decided it was worth the lives lost and time just to make a few billion more dollars for their CEOs
how much are billions of lives really worth? not that much.
