A lot of people do not think of forests as a health issue, but we have found out that is where our clean water comes from, from the forests.
Jay Inslee Back in the mid-1970s, we adopted some fairly ambitious goals to improve efficiency of our cars. What did we get? We got a tremendous boost in efficiency. Jay Inslee Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000. Jay Inslee But most importantly, we can all be donors. It does not matter how old you are, your race, where you live; all of us can give the gift of life. Jay Inslee Healing is a moral thing to do. Jay Inslee High-tech and biotech firms that effectively attract and retain venture capital should not be excluded from the SBIR program simply because the nature of their research requires large sums of investment. Jay Inslee I am a relatively new Member to this Chamber, and it is troublesome to me and I can tell Members it is getting very troublesome to my constituents when they hear this repeated consistent drum beat of a corruption of the democratic process. Jay Inslee I do care about the mercury contamination which this country will be experiencing because of the attempted sellout by this administration to special interests which will result in more mercury in the blood of young children in America. Jay Inslee I reflect back 35 years ago, and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water, and we have had some real successes. Jay Inslee If this ice melts in Greenland it can shut down the Gulf Current. Jay Inslee Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future. Jay Inslee Lincoln said that the Patent Office adds the flame of interest to the light of creativity. And that is why we need to improve the effectiveness of our Patent Office. Jay Inslee On Earth, we still have a beautiful atmosphere that precisely maintains a thermally driven climatic system that shelters, shields and sustains our natural treasures. Jay Inslee President Bush's proposal to focus our resources on sending humans to Mars is intriguing, but it is not the most compelling reason that Americans ought to focus our interest on the Red Planet. Jay Inslee Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods. Jay Inslee So we are now still dependent on foreign oil, have a problem with global warming, and are losing jobs rapidly to the Japanese in fuel-efficient vehicles as a result of that very shortsighted progress. Jay Inslee The 1st Congressional District contains almost half of the biotech and biomedical companies in Washington, and my job often allows me to meet the people responsible for this exciting research. Jay Inslee The fact is that we cannot drill our way to independence. We cannot drill our way to freedom, and we cannot drill our way to create jobs in this country. Jay Inslee The need to help spread democracy and the ability to do that will be much greater if we break this addiction to oil, which gives the oil princes and sultans the power in the Mideast. Jay Inslee The simple fact is we cannot plant dead dinosaurs underneath our continental United States to create oil. It is simply not there. Jay Inslee The third goal of the new Apollo Project is to grow jobs right here in the United States rather than allowing job loss to go overseas. Jay Inslee There is no excuse for this administration shielding information about Iraq and the fact that we have great difficulties there from the American people. Jay Inslee Things are difficult enough about Iraq without the Federal Government suppressing the truth about Iraq. Jay Inslee Third issue, and again I think it is important to note, anyone can make a mistake and any administration can make a mistake once in a while, but this is just a long train of abuses, an unbroken chain of following special interests rather than the health of the American people. Jay Inslee Tolerance is carved into the rostrum of the U.S. House of Representatives and intolerance should not be carved into the U.S. Constitution. Jay Inslee Tolerance is the value that was selected to put on here, and tolerance is as American as apple pie. Jay Inslee Unfortunately, bureaucratic problems at the federal level are causing many other small Washington companies to be denied federal funding that would help transfer their ideas from their laboratories into our homes and hospitals. Jay Inslee We clearly need to break our addiction on Saudi Arabian oil that is a security threat to the United States. Jay Inslee We consume about 25 percent of the world's oil every year, but we only have reserves, including that which has not been pumped, of about 3 percent of the oil reserves in the world. Jay Inslee We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country. Jay Inslee We need to get our sons and daughters home and their responsibility for the security of Iraq needs to be assumed by Iraqis who will stand up and toe the line for their countries. Jay Inslee What is a fish without a river? What is a bird without a tree to nest in? What is an Endangered Species Act without any enforcement mechanism to ensure their habitat is protected? It is nothing. Jay Inslee With millions of family wage manufacturing jobs lost since 2001, we need an energy bill that takes bold action to tap into American ingenuity in order to lead the world in new clean energy technology, rather than playing catch-up to the Japanese, Danish, and Germans.
