Show some love for climate action

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.

Time to make climate history in Oregon

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

We need 100% fossil-free electricity. But that isn’t a blank check for nukes or hydro.

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.

All Aboard! Accelerating TriMet’s transition to electric buses

It’s time for Oregon’s largest transit agency to stop buying new diesel buses and make the switch to electric. 

States step up to fight climate challenges

Global temperatures aren't the only thing heating up--states and cities are showing an appetite this year for strong climate policy. We've got the latest news on climate and clean energy.

We all agree: it's time for climate action in Washington

A coalition of more than 25 organizations sent a message to Washington state legislators calling for strong climate action, in the form of three key solutions: (1) supporting a path to 100% carbon-free electricity, (2) putting a price on carbon pollution, and (3) advancing clean fuels for transportation.

Public strongly supports 100% clean electricity, clean fuels

A new Washington state poll demonstrates strong public support for legislators prepared to act on climate.

2017: The highlights were pretty bright

Yes, 2017 was an awful year in many ways. But it was also a year of transition for climate action. We and many others affirmed our ability to make progress at the speed and scale our climate crisis demands.

The setting: climate crisis. The story: clean energy on the rise.

As we mark the second anniversary of the Paris climate accord, US cities and states are maintaining momentum to do our part for emissions reduction. 

Give for a brighter future

Initial take on Clean Energy Jobs bill release

Submitted by Mara Gross on

The Oregon Legislature has released a draft of the Clean Energy Jobs bill. Climate Solutions is focused on passing a strong policy that reduces emissions quickly, holds polluters accountable, invests in clean energy projects across the state, and ensures a majority of investments benefit those most impacted by climate change.
