This forecast is a wake-up call for anyone worried about wildfires and extreme weather. #Oregon won't reach its climate goals without progress in the transportation sector. That means investing in vehicle electrification, transit, walking, and biking. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/09/16/o...

WA’s power demand is surging, but fossil fuels aren’t the answer. If utilities are turning to gas to meet growing demand, we must address permitting, siting and interconnection barriers to ensure renewables are the practical choice to meet demand and move WA toward its carbon-free goals.

WA wanted clean energy. But utilities plan fleet of gas plants
WA's utilities must go carbon-free by 2045. So why are they turning now to natural gas?
