As wildfire season approaches, we present a gripping, first-person account of wildland firefighting in Washington State. The latest in a series of personal impacts from wildfires.

Oregon’s Climate Protection Program protects our health, cuts pollution from the state’s largest emitters, and helps shield families from rising energy costs. Big oil and gas are once again suing in court to avoid accountability. We’re committed to defending this program and ensuring a safe, healthy, affordable Oregon for today and future generations.

The Northwest’s dependence on imported fossil fuels leaves households vulnerable to price spikes triggered by global conflicts. By shifting to clean electricity and electric transportation, the region can stabilize energy costs, strengthen resilience, and keep more economic benefits at home.

Washington State is so over coal. We banned it from our power plants, from our ports—and from our air and water. The Trump administration's heavy-handed attempt to keep coal alive in the Northwest is backward-looking and unlawful. That's why we're fighting back.

The long-awaited Energy Strategy report is here, providing a roadmap for a clean energy transition, and, with the first-of-its-kind climate executive order from Governor Kotek that directs swift implementation of the findings, a cleaner, reliable, and more affordable energy future is more possible than ever before.

ICE raids threaten vital wildfire response. States respond as the Trump administration expands its war on clean energy and climate progress.

In recent rate cases, we have secured big wins for customers and the climate! This spring, we reached an agreement with Avista Gas to reduce climate pollution through an electrification pilot. In our NW Natural rate case, we have an agreement to eliminate gas subsidies for developers, and we are still fighting to improve energy choice for low-income customers.

Struggling with “smoke season”? You’re not alone. This Story Spotlight launches a series of articles exploring how people are impacted by wildfires in different ways, and making the case for greater investments to cut pollution and help people access affordable solutions such as heat pumps that reduce climate pollution, filter air, and save lives.

Something is up, and unfortunately, it may be a higher utility bill for Oregon gas customers. In a time when communities are already bracing for Congressional Republicans’ new energy tax hike, NW Natural Gas Company is trying to raise costs on Oregonians as well. Even worse, they aim to raise our gas bills to boost their shareholders’ profits and invest in expensive fuels under the guise of decarbonization, rather than providing lower-income customers with the option to install an energy-efficient heat pump! Climate Solutions does not intervene in every rate case, but when we think there is an opportunity to protect customers and the climate, we enter the ring. This is one of those cases!
