When they set out to make their power supply 100% green, Northwest leaders ignored the fact that the region lacks the wiring to deliver new sources of renewable energy to people’s homes.
Little has been done to change that, ProPublica and Oregon Public Broadcasting found.

Hey #California #Oregon #WashingtonState #Minnesota #NewYork #Vermont #Massachusetts #RhodeIsland #Maine and #Connecticut We could form a contiguous nation with Canada. Think of it. Universal Health Care. Cheaper education. Higher alcohol content beer. Real maple syrup. No MAGAs.
Instead of 51st state, let’s start thinking 11th-20th Provinces!
It feels like it's time for a new #introduction

Some local coverage for the Oregon #HandsOff protests from OPB:
https://www.opb.org/article/2025/04/05/hands-off-protests-oregon-washington/
“Hands Off” protests began in Tigard in Southeast Portland Saturday morning, with dozens more planned in Oregon, from Gold Beach to Astoria, to Hood River, Enterprise, Redmond and Klamath Falls.
The enormity of what I’m about to do feels so daunting. The anxiety of the unknown mixes with the excitement of adventure, and it’s hard not to start spiraling.
Maybe it’s biting off way more than I can chew, but I feel driven to at least take this journey as far as I can.
I hit the trailhead tomorrow.
