The Renewable energy picture in Oregon:
What is being done and what can we do now?
Next Chapter Meeting is TOMORROW:
Tuesday, March 16, 6:30 – 8 pm.
|
We're kicking off a series of events with speaker Rob Del Mar, Central Oregon Field Analyst, who will give us a view of how the ODOE and the PUC/Legislature are addressing the development of renewable energy in Oregon. Rob will leave us with some opportunities which we will follow up over the next month or two. The goal in this speaker series is to line up some actions we can take as a Climate Reality Chapter, that are aligned with state policy as we work towards meeting goals to get off fossil fuels.
We will also have our Chapter and Committee updates. Trainings, elections and more. Please join us!

Please join The Climate Reality Project’s Founder and Chairman Al Gore for a Town Hall focused on the year ahead for global action on the climate crisis, including important moments and hopeful trends.
Chairman Gore and The Climate Reality Project’s international branch managers will share what’s next for the international climate movement in the wake of the US elections and across the world as we approach deadlines for enhanced ambition, reflect on climate impacts, and investigate a waterfall of new commitments in the public and private sectors.
