Listen In: Oregon’s Proposed Polluters-Pay Bills

No time to sit down and read our Cashing In Our Carbon series? That’s okay! I recently gave some radio interviews to help make sense of the carbon pricing bills wending their way through the Oregon legislature. So if you’re curious, maybe you can squeeze in a listen.

The recent Oregon legislative hearing about carbon pricing sparked interest in the possibilities. I spoke with Jefferson Smith on XRAy.fm with Oregon Climate’s Executive Director Camila Thorndike last week about a proposed polluters-pay-plus-dividend bill. (I wrote about the bill here).

Then on April 10, KBOO’s Jenka Soderberg asked me about the Climate Stability and Justice Act—start at 3:55—another bill that would create a framework for Oregon to meet its climate goals. (I wrote about it here).
