Wonderful to have the partnership of @RonWyden@RepBonamici@DaimlerTruckNA & @ESS_info as Oregon leverages historic federal investments in climate action & clean energy. The Clean Tech Manufacturing Task Force will guide our path to be a leader in the global clean energy economy
Thrilled to celebrate the launch of the Oregon Clean Tech Task Force yesterday! Thank you @RonWyden and @GovTinaKotek for co-chairing this initiative to position Oregon to lead at the forefront of the clean energy revolution. https://t.co/o2yAAZJNFZ

It’s time for Oregon to step up and assert itself as a powerhouse in the clean energy revolution. Passage of the Oregon clean technology leadership bill, House Bill 4112, would provide the necessary tools to do just that. #orleg https://t.co/gznm3fZ3AX
The gas industry desperately wants to prevent you from learning that your gas stove emits dangerous air toxics that contribute to serious health problems. New reporting shows the industry has been trying to hide this information since the 1960s

We tuned into @OPBTOL this week and were excited to hear @GovTinaKotek say she's "110% committed" to fighting climate change. She has an opportunity to be a real leader if she puts that commitment into action. https://t.co/WVAjkwoF7F
Right now, oil and gas companies are fighting to hold onto antiquated climate-polluting practices. Hear today’s OPB interview with OEC’s senior program director for climate @NoraApter on recent attacks to Oregon’s Climate Protection Program. https://t.co/HCN4ORGJAO
"GTN Xpress is neither necessary nor beneficial because it will either increase costs for Oregon and Washington consumers or undermine the [climate] laws of Oregon." Thank you @SenJeffMerkley and @RonWyden for opposing harmful gas infrastructure expansion. https://t.co/uhNexmxR7I
The Resilient Efficient Buildings Package will bring hundreds of millions in federal $ to Oregon to keep our families safe + reduce costs and pollution.

TFW the fossil fuel industry pays a "scientist" to cast doubt on the findings of your local county health department, and it lands on the front page of the New York Times. You can continue to count on me get to the bottom of this, and take action to protect our children's health.
Citing indoor air pollution and climate concerns, Multnomah County officials are recommending residents replace gas appliances with electric alternatives. NW Natural, the county's main supplier of natural gas, says they weren't consulted.

"Companies are trying to avoid acknowledging that the “writing is on the wall,” for natural gas. The fossil gas industry in Oregon is digging in its heels [in] figuring out how it can maintain the status quo and continue business as usual." 🙄 -@NoraApter https://t.co/qHO9rVMHFt
