Energy & Climate

All of Sightline's research, maps, and publications on Cascadia's energy system, its impacts, and how the region can become cleaner and more secure.

How is the Northwest doing at creating a cost-effective, climate-friendly energy system? How can our region become true climate heroes? That's what Sightline's energy research is aimed at, through initiatives such as our climate policy project, and our blog series on Climate Fairness.

Also see our Energy indicator from the Cascadia Scorecard project.
