The good folks at Environment Oregon have a smart new report out providing a detailed policy prescription for Oregon to meet its climate targets. This is exactly the sort of stuff we’ll need if the Northwest is ever going to move from aspirational speechifying to actually fixing climate change.

Let’s hope Oregon lawmakers give it a read. Full pdf is here.
