Stranger: On Wednesday, the Washington State Department of Ecology released an updated draft of the Clean Air Rule, a reintroduced plan to make the state's biggest polluters cut their greenhouse gas emissions that was retracted earlier this year. The new draft, as the Seattle Times noted yesterday, makes concessions to industry groups, and aims to cut carbon emissions from 70 Washington businesses by 1.7 percent annually. But for one group of people deeply invested in the state's climate goals, the new...
