In this week's ClimateCast: An Oregon bill seeks to account for the true cost of climate pollution. Clean energy deployments are on the rise--but so are portentious impacts of global warming.

Washington State has a chance to deliver on some of the most ambitious climate policy anywhere in the country. Valentine’s Day is a key deadline.

The impacts of fossil fuels are not just environmentally catastrophic, they’re deeply inequitable. Those who do the least to cause climate disruption are hit hardest by it. To break free from fossil fuels, we need strategies that deliver effective, affordable solutions and economic opportunity for all.

Today in Olympia, House and Senate committees both advanced proposals to move us faster towards 100% fossil-free electricity—meaning a cleaner world, a stronger economy, and healthier communities. 

As Washington (and soon, Oregon) legislatures consider climate and clean energy legislation, cities are striding forward. So is the clean energy economy, despite go-slow signals from the US government.

Progress, fortunately, isn’t just about the performance of the federal government. In Washington, our legislature has big opportunities for climate leadership right now.

Governor Inslee's decision today to shut down plans for a massive new oil terminal is a massive win for the people of the Northwest standing up against the fossil fuel industry.

Clean energy, cost saving, job creating investments from the ten states that have already put a price on climate pollution

With the Clean Energy Jobs bill, we have a huge opportunity for Oregon to take a bold step in the fight against climate change. 

Washington has the chance this year to take a major step away from our fossil-fueled past (and the engine driving climate change), into a clean energy future. KC Golden suggests that we keep our eyes on the prize.
