Dear Friend,
By now you know that one third of Oregon’s power still
comes from coal, mostly from out-of-state coal plants. You
also know that Sierra Club and our partners are campaigning for
Oregon to transition from dirty coal to clean renewable energy
by 2025.
You may still have many questions: Where is
Oregon’s coal power coming from? Is my utility company burning
coal? How can we bring more clean energy online? How does
this fit within the bigger picture of Oregon leading on climate
action? How can I help?
You’re in luck, we've got some answers!
This Wednesday we are having a short presentation over the phone
about the campaign to end Oregon’s coal use and transition our
state to clean, renewable energy like wind and solar. The phone
call will feature several speakers, including State Senator
Michael Dembrow and youth climate activist Eli Gorby, and a Q
& A.
