Oregon House passes bill to double renewable energy

19.02.2016: The Oregon House overwhelmingly approved the Clean Electricity and Coal Transition bill (HB 4036) bill. According to Sierra Club, the new clean energy legislation will reduce the shares of coal power in the state’s electricity mix and double that of renewable energies. Sierra Club claims that the bipartisan vote of the House of Representatives reflected the wide support of the bill, which was conceived with the support of the investor owned electric utilities, environmental and consumer organizations, and the renewable energy industry. »House Bill 4036 will bring more clean energy jobs to our communities, protect consumers, and affirm our state's commitment to acting on climate change. Today's vote is an important step in the right direction. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our elected leaders move our state forward by approving this important legislation,« said Andy Maggi from Sierra Club. © PHOTON
