No time to burn: let's keep the future of gas short in Oregon
Fossil "natural" gas is far from being the safe, clean product that gas and fossil fuel companies claim.
While we are putting all our efforts into transitioning our transportation sector to be made up of 100% zero-emission vehicles powered by renewable energy, this transformation will not happen overnight.
If you’re like me, you’ve seen a LOT of studies released about the increasingly dire state of our climate, what’s to come if we do not cut pollution, and how much pollution we need to cut by when.
Freeway expansion and climate action don’t mix As youth-organized climate protests against the Oregon Department of Transportation’s
Research shows that a 100% clean electrical grid can handle the task of powering all-electric transportation.

NW Natural—Oregon's largest fossil fuel utility—wants to raise gas prices by nearly 12 percent. By supporting further growth of the gas industry, this rate hike will increase energy burdens for already struggling Oregon families, worsen the climate crisis, and pollute the air we breathe.
Today is a significant milestone for Oregon’s climate progress, but it requires a little time traveling to the cusp of the pre-COVID times to fully appreciate how far we’ve come.
Oregon's legislators heard your calls to address climate pollution from buildings—but it’s taking a new form. Also, don't miss updates on our statewide other climate priorities.
Oregon PUC regulators are tasked with figuring out how to protect customers and reduce risk, while gas utilities grapple with how to meet climate pollution reduction goals while continuing to meet customers’ needs.
The Eugene, OR city council voted to start studying whether to require all new-constructed commercial and residential buildings be electric only.

Heating and powering our homes and businesses generates a significant amount of pollution contributing to global warming. With clean, energy efficient homes and buildings, we would significantly reduce climate pollution, drastically cut energy costs for owners and renters, and improve air quality where we live and work.
