Explore Oregon's 2026 legislative wins and the lessons learned from the climate policies that fell short. It highlights the missed opportunities for lower energy bills while looking ahead at the work needed to build a more resilient state in 2027.
For decades, out-of-state fossil fuel corporations have made devastating fires, extreme heat, and floods worse, yet Oregonians have paid the price for prevention and recovery. These polluters always knew this was happening, but continued to do it while piling up massive profits with no accountability. Oregon lawmakers have the power to hold big oil accountable – but we need you to make sure they hear us.
A decade of progress deserves to be celebrated, especially right now. In a moment when climate headlines can feel like a constant stream of bad news, Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program (CFP) turning 10 is a win worth celebrating. It is one of those rare public policies that has quietly, consistently done exactly what it was designed to do: cut pollution, improve health, and drive investment into cleaner transportation choices across the state.
Tell Oregon lawmakers to protect climate and community transportation programs—these investmen
Oregonians need a transportation system built on accountability and common sense. By prioritizing smart spending, transparency and better oversight, we can build a better future for Oregon without passing on a financial burden to the next generation.
The Upgrade and Save program will help Oregon working families access home upgrades such as home weatherization, energy-efficient heat pumps, solar panels, and home batteries to help lower energy bills and protect people from extreme weather, wildfires, and smoke impacts.
With federal leadership receding, Oregon's role as a clean energy leader is more important than ever. Right now, Oregon lawmakers have an opportunity to support affordable, clean energy progress. Urge them to support local, community-based power in the 2026 session by passing the virtual power plant bill (SB 1582).
Oregon legislators are making critical budget decisions that could weaken clean energy and climate programs that protect public health and keep energy costs down. Let's protect essential state agencies, support local jobs, and ensure Oregon communities aren’t left vulnerable as federal funding is rolled back.
