- \n
- More access to cleaner public transit<\/strong> including free ferry, bus, and other transit rides for youth.<\/li>\n
- Cleaner air for children in and around schools<\/strong> with upgrades to zero-emissions school buses and new, efficient HVAC systems.<\/li>\n
- Lower energy bills for low-income households and small businesses<\/strong> who receive support for replacing old gas furnaces with modern and efficient electric alternatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
But the scale<\/em> of this program enables it to deliver much more for Washington\u2019s communities and economy in the long run<\/strong>. Just how much more? Thanks to new, in-depth modeling from Greenline Insights<\/a>, supported by EDF, we now have a clearer picture of the transformative impact this program could have.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CCA is game-changing for Washington\u2019s economy and climate<\/h3>\n
Released in September, the new modeling reveals significant potential for the CCA to drive not only environmental progress but also substantial economic gains. The numbers are impressive: the study projects that over an 8-year period, CCA investments could create more than 45,000 new jobs<\/strong> and generate $9.1 billion in economic output<\/strong>. This results in a net return on investment of $3.9 billion for the state.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s just the beginning. The CCA\u2019s structure allows Washington to leverage additional sources of funding \u2014 federal, state, local, and private capital \u2014 making it a magnet for even greater investment. In fact, the modeling estimates that thanks to the CCA, Washington could attract over $29 billion in total investments<\/strong> over the next 8 years, spurring the creation of up to 263,000 jobs<\/strong> and generating $51 billion in economic output<\/strong>. Each dollar invested through the CCA is expected to generate over $13 in economic returns, making it a powerful economic engine for the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimply put, the Climate Commitment Act is a powerful economic engine,\u201d said Jonah Kurman-Faber, an author of the study. \u201cOur study shows that when Washington invests in clean air, transportation, efficient homes, and other CCA programs, what follows is explosive job growth, economic development, and new federal and private investments across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report also breaks down how different sectors of the economy stand to benefit, from clean energy to construction, infrastructure, and beyond. Work related to efficient homes and buildings, for example (such as construction trades, material movers, and retail sales) is projected to see 6,900 new jobs over the next 8 years thanks to the CCA, creating $1.6 billion in economic activity. 6,000 new jobs are projected in the ferries and maritime sector, including metal and plastic workers, manufacturing operations, maintenance, and assemblers.

<\/a><\/p>\nInvestments at Risk<\/h3>\n
However, all of these investments from cap-and-invest, along with the jobs and economic activity this modeling shows would be created, could be lost depending on the outcome of I-2117, a ballot measure that seeks to repeal the CCA. This initiative qualified for the ballot after hedge-fund executive Brian Heywood spent millions of dollars to personally bankroll an effort<\/a> to get qualifying signatures on a slate of issues, including the cap-and-invest repeal. If I-2117 passes, the cap-and-invest program would be fully repealed, immediately putting an end to the economic activity the policy is poised to generate, as well as the cleaner air from reduced emissions.<\/p>\n
Key takeaways<\/h3>\n
So what\u2019s the big takeaway? Investing in climate action and clean energy doesn’t just protect the planet \u2014 it pays off economically, and on a massive scale<\/strong>. This is the power of cap-and-invest: by pairing a binding, declining cap<\/em> on emissions along with a framework to collect revenue from polluters and invest<\/em> it back into the state, we can jump-start a clean energy economy, make communities more resilient to climate impacts, and reduce climate-warming pollution all at the same time.

As more states consider cap-and-invest programs as a way to reduce climate pollution and kickstart their clean energy economies, this research underscores the \u201cwin-win\u201d potential of cap-and-invest programs. Pairing a binding emissions limit with a mechanism for local clean energy investments enables climate action that can create jobs and boost economic output, while reducing emissions and creating a healthier planet for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
