		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of climate crises, a more flexible approach to weatherization work takes shape. | If your home is in bad shape, your health is likely to be, too. That’s the basis behind the Healthy Homes Act, HB 2842, which funds home repair and safety issues that energy efficiency programs don’t typically address. Healthy Homes was the third leg of the Oregon Clean Energy Opportunity Campaign, rounding out legislative wins by environmental justice advocates to make electricity more affordable and emission-free by 2040. The bill...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A just transition is picking up legislative wins in Salem. | On July 19th, Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed one of the most aggressive clean electricity policies in the country. HB 2021, &#8220;100% Clean Energy for All,&#8221; aims to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity serving Oregonians by 2040 with interim targets of 80 percent reduction by 2030 and 90 percent reduction by 2035. The bill also provides funding for small scale renewable projects and establishes labor standards. A complementing...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four antidotes for the poison pill in Northwest energy building finance laws. | To decarbonize the region’s buildings, Cascadians face no easy task. Natural gas heats 80 percent of the Pacific Northwest’s commercial buildings (by square footage) and 66 percent of its domestic hot water, according to the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance’s 2019 regional commercial building stock assessment. Yet if we aim to meet state climate targets, decarbonize we must, and it will require us to replace oil and gas with clean electricity...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What we can learn from Pend Oreille’s struggle with clean energy, Tribal rights, and fair process. | In a sleepy rural corner of Washington, one of the region’s most intriguing debates over modern energy development is playing out. Tucked up against Idaho’s panhandle, some 13,000 residents of Pend Oreille County are grappling with a $325 million proposal to build a polluting industrial smelter that would manufacture silicon metal from ore for solar panels and electronics. It is a political, social, and environmental lightning rod. Supporters say the...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Funding public transit would be a no-brainer but the measure would also help urban homes, buildings, and schools | When a ballot initiative touts raising a whopping $1 billion per year for the foreseeable future, voters understandably want to know how the money will be spent. In a previous article, we showed what Initiative 1631 could provide for rural areas of Washington. But what about cities and suburbs? In the coming decade, I-1631 could direct billions of dollars into building energy efficiency retrofits, solar rooftop installations, electric vehicles and...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The right-wing group's go-to naysayer will testify to lawmakers about climate regulation. | The success of the right-wing Heritage Foundation has been so effective in Washington DC with the Trump administration that its dangerous agenda is now getting peddled in Oregon. The Heritage Foundation’s work can be seen by looking at the most destructive members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet. It recommended Scott Pruitt, Betsy DeVos (whose in-laws endowed Heritage’s Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society), Mick Mulvaney, Rick...]]></description>

Scientific American maps economic damage from climate change by county, and the Sun Belt gets hammered. New research from scientists at Carnegie Mellon University shows that coal transport and stockpiling are harmful to public health. From the abstract: We first demonstrate that a 10% increase in coal stockpiles (number of deliveries) results in a 0.07% (0.16%) increase in the average concentration of...]]></description>
