Washington Climate Commitment Act

Cap-and-invest that voters kept - at a cost at the pump.

Energy & CodesBallot MeasureLiberty checkEvidence favors the policy

C · 15/24

1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)

Cap emissions and invest the proceeds.

2 · The realist counter-case

Critics cite gas-price effects.

3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats

$2.149B collected ($1.484B above forecast); allowance price ~doubled; repeal I-2117 defeated ~62-38 (2024).

4 · Liberty check

Climate goal vs. cost-of-living impact.

5 · The real tradeoff

Voters kept it; the pump cost is partly oil-driven.
