As data centers consume a growing share of Oregon and Washington's electricity, policymakers must ensure they strengthen the grid, support climate goals, and pay their fair share.

[PRESS RELEASE] A group of environmental, climate, and business organizations intervened in the Oregon Court of Appeals to defend the state’s Climate Protection Program (CPP) against challenges from the oil and gas industry.

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.

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.

Courts push back part of Trump's quixotic war on wind power. Oregon's got a new clean energy strategy, and the US government was a no-show at the latest global climate talks.

The U.S. president’s latest wild attacks on clean energy are a clear sign that this administration cares more about fealty to the fossil fuel industry than it does about energy affordability, or “energy dominance,” or climate, or anything else.

Oregon’s 2025 legislative session delivered mixed results for climate progress. Sound familiar? That’s because this is the second year in a row that Oregon lawmakers fell short of delivering the bold investments and climate action this moment demands. While we secured hard-fought wins and defended against serious threats that would unwind existing progress, this was far from a banner year for climate action in Oregon. Still, this session laid important groundwork, and we have a clear call to action for the road ahead.

Everyday necessities shouldn’t come with everyday pollution. Yet the goods and resources we rely on are delivered by a freight system powered largely by diesel. This is bringing toxic emissions into our neighborhoods, schools, and lungs. Diesel pollution is not just an environmental issue, it’s a public health crisis, especially for children.
