Christine Gregoire
Washington Governor Christine Gregoire is going to Copenhagen for the U.N. climate summit.
Gregoire leaves Friday and will be joined by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The trio were invited by The Climate Registry and the Georgetown Climate Center, who are paying for the governors’ trips.
Gregoire says she will “have the opportunity to showcase Washington as an international leader of the clean energy technology revolution,’ and will will be a speaker at several events and workshops next week.
Several Washington companies are attending the summit as well, including Microsoft, Weyerhaeuser, and NewEarth Renewable Energy.
Gregoire will return to Washington state next Thursday. (AP)
