Clean Energy Jobs Meeting

January 10, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

- free

Oregon is poised to pass a cap and invest bill in 2019.  Join us January 10th at Central Lutheran Church, 1820 NE 21st, from 6:30 – 8:30 to find out how you can help pass effective legislation to reduce carbon.  RSVP Here

The Joint Interim Committee on Carbon Reduction and the Governor’s Carbon Policy Office have been working since the 2018 session to craft good legislation.  Commonly referred to as the Clean Energy Jobs bill it will put a cap on greenhouse gas emissions and require regulated industries to have a permit (or “allowance”) for each ton of climate pollution they emit.  Proceeds from auctioning allowances will be invested in programs and technology to reduce carbon, and to help ensure a just transition.  It is our job to make sure the legislation is strong and will be effective.  Oregon can become the model for other states.

We know that industry lobbyists are trying to weaken the bill to benefit special interests.  Now is the time to work with our elected representatives and our neighbors around the state to ensure a strong, effective and just bill.  Please register at the link above so we know who to expect.  See you January 10th.
