The 100% Clean Electricity bill, Washington State&nbsp;Senate Bill 5116, is Earth Ministry&#8217;s top legislative priority this year and Earth Ministry has been lobbying hard to pass it. This article discusses the environmental benefits of the 100% Clean Electricity bill, and why a broad coalition of organizations are coming together in support of it. LeeAnne Beres says, \u201cAn equitable and renewable electricity grid reflects religious values of stewardship and justice. People of faith applaud the Legislature for affirming these values by committing to a 100% clean energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Washington One Step Away from 100% Clean Electricity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Washington<\/i><em>&nbsp;Environmental Council<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>April 11 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OLYMPIA<\/strong> \u2013 The Washington State House of Representatives passed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=5116&amp;Year=2019&amp;initiative=\">Senate Bill 5116<\/a>&nbsp;today on a 56-42 vote, taking an important step towards securing a fossil fuel-free future for Washington.
