We, too, now live in a part of the world in which climate change, and its threats to our health and security, are an entirely personal matter.

In another step toward a 100% clean energy future in the Northwest, the Oregon Public Utility Commission rejected Portland General Electric’s proposal for new fracked gas plants. 

From ranchers blocking Keystone with solar, to counties suing big oil over sea level rise, grassroots action to protect the climate and our communities. 

Oregon’s 2017 legislative session goes down as a mixed bag for climate and clean energy. We stopped a major rollback and secured funding for transportation, but with global warming already harming our health, economy, and natural systems –that's just not good enough. 

 

G20 leaders recommit to the road through Paris--with the US government on the sidelines for now. More bad news for oil, more promising economic signs for renewables, and more of the latest news on climate and clean energy.

We’re breathing a sigh of relief. We succeeded in protecting Oregon's Clean Fuels Program from attacks by the fossil fuel industry, while also securing an important electric vehicles incentive. 

As Oregon’s 2017 legislative session enters its final weeks, we’re fighting hard to take the steps forward we urgently need.  

Oregon is at risk of moving backwards on climate change. The Oregon Senate is working behind closed doors on a plan to weaken the Clean Fuels program so significantly that it could effectively kill the program.  Let's stop that from happening.
