Write in support of Clean Energy Jobs - Dec 2018
Message from Oregon League of Conservation Voters (OLVC) 12-12-18
2019 could be a historic year for Oregon. It could be the year we decide to cap climate pollution for the largest polluters in the state. It could be the year we create a green economy, one that runs on renewable energy and supports local people. It could be the year we pledge to increase energy efficiency, and create affordable housing options near public transit. It could be the year we take action--the year we pass the Clean Energy Jobs bill.
Tomorrow, state legislators will be meeting in Salem to discuss the proposed bill. The legislative session is just around the corner, and hearings like this are starting points for crafting the language and details of the bill. We’ve been fighting for Clean Energy Jobs for years, and we need to make sure that the final result is as strong as possible. Will you ask your legislators to stand up for a strong Clean Energy Jobs bill?
The fossil fuel industry is determined to weaken and kill the bill. We can’t let them. Clean Energy Jobs must reduce Oregon’s greenhouse gas emissions in both the long and the short term. Longer term goals in the bill ensure we truly tackle climate change, and interim targets are critical--best available science requires we make major greenhouse gas reductions in the next 10-15 years to avoid locking in irreversible climate change impacts. Those near term reductions are more critical than gradually achieving them by 2050. But fossil fuel interests want to buy themselves more time to reach those goals, pushing out interim targets several years or even decades.
We don’t have time to spare. The only way to prevent the most extreme effects of climate change is by taking immediate action. We can’t cater to industry any longer, not when so much is at stake. Make sure your legislators uphold interim targets in the Clean Energy Jobs bill so we can act on climate as quickly and effectively as possible.
Your legislators need to hear your voice. They need to know that you’re going to fight for the Clean Energy Jobs bill, and that you’re not only going to make sure it passes; you’re going to make sure that it’s the best it can be.

Stop Jordan Cove LNG - Public Hearing- Jan 15, 5:30 - 8 PM
Tues. Jan 15, 5:30 - 8 PM, Department Of State Lands, 775 Summer St NE, Salem, Oregon 97301
Join us at a public hearing to stop the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline in Salem. This is the chance for community members outside of South Oregon to speak out against this project.
If built, the Jordan Cove LNG project would harm nearly 500 waterways (100,000+ public drinking water), seize property from private landowners through eminent domain, create a major safety and public health hazards, impact Tribal territories, cultural resources, and burial grounds, and become the largest source of climate pollution in the state.
The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) will hear from the public about whether Jordan Cove's Removal-Fill permit should be denied or approved. This is one of the state permits that, if denied, would stop the Jordan Cove LNG even if the Federal Government approves the project.
More info on writing public comment and a rally before to come soon! In the meantime, submit your written comments here: https://nolngexports.good.do/DSL/DSLComments/
