On February 17, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek reassured residents that the state's climate change initiatives would not be hindered by Donald Trump's recent executive orders. Despite Trump's pullback on renewable energy funding, Kotek emphasized Oregon's longstanding leadership in fighting climate change alongside Washington, aiming for carbon neutrality in two decades. Former Washington senator Reuven Carlyle expressed frustration over regional transmission issues and underlined the necessity for innovative solutions to confront energy challenges. The complexity of developing renewable projects, as illustrated by energy developer David Brown's experiences, highlights the slow and challenging processes involved in building sustainable energy infrastructure.
Oregon has been leading the way for years on courageous state policies to fight climate change, and we are not turning back on this mission.
It's embarrassing that Oregon and Washington, which are such good-looking states, simply can't practically build anything in terms of energy.
