I think it’s commendable that Washington prioritizes public health and well-being over private profits.
Not only is blocking state exports unconstitutional. It is totally opposite of anything commendable re public health.
Population if Washington State 7.5 million Population of India 1.4 billion Population in India without electricity 240 million
Do the math..
Exporting clean coal technologies to India could save millions of lives. The least environmentally disruptive way to do so, is through Washington State.
Hence, timing. As for the commendable state of Washington doing their due dilligence for the health and welfare of all of us humans, I wonder how many other polluting industries Washington state's legislators ignore. The clean coal industry is considered guilty until proven innocent. That's becoming a theme by many elected leaders.
