Missed opportunity if
Oregon falls behind
on clean energy
Two qualities that make
our communities strong are
personal responsibility and
neighborly cooperation. We
do what we can to contrib-
ute. We take responsibility
for our piece of what needs
to be done. We clean up our
own mess. Some problems
are too big or we hit a rough
patch. Our neighbors step in
to help. We’re stronger for
working together.
I was born and raised in
Gilliam County, where I’m
proud to serve my commu-
nity as Road Master and as
a commissioner at the Port
of Arlington. In my lifetime,
I’ve seen a lot of changes.
My wife’s family had a
ranch, 26,000 acres where
they grazed cattle. The wild-

worse, damaged so much
rangeland. Every blade of
grass burned means less
acreage for the cattle. You’re
forced to overgraze in other
areas to keep up the herd.
✎✞✏✑ ✁✂✄ ✠✁✂ ✒✠✓✞✍☛ ✌✝✞✍☛✄
worse for our economy, land
and health. Scientists pre-
dicted this would happen
and now it’s coming true.
We’re facing a once-in-
a-generation challenge and
it’s going to take responsibil-
ity and cooperation to solve.
For previous generations it

rope. For us, it’s combatting
a warming climate. I believe
this is a global problem. I’m
pleased to hear things about
China and Europe starting
to pull some of the weight.
But if the U.S.A. really kicks
in with renewable energy, no
country in the world can beat
us. We have economic free-
dom here. The world would
see us as an example.
Oregon is a prime place to
show others how it’s done,
while boosting our home-
grown economy.
Now’s the time for more
investment in renewable
power, in making buildings
and homes use less energy,
and to think about how we
can use better fuels, made
here at home. I’m following
this cap-and-invest legisla-
tion in Salem called “Clean
Energy Jobs.”
The idea is Oregon will put
a “cap” on climate pollution
from the largest sources in
our state, about 100 of them.
We’ll ask those industrial
polluters to take responsibil-
ity for what they’re putting
into our air by paying a fair
price for it. Those funds will
be invested in communi-
ties all around the state — in
clean energy like upgrades
to homes and businesses

to do the paperwork. I want
to see protections for large
businesses under the cap
to stay competitive. And we
should join up with other
states, so it doesn’t create a
new bureaucracy.
Oregon needs to do its
part. We might not grow
enough wheat to feed the
whole world, but we grow
wheat in Oregon anyway
because we contribute
to the market. The Clean
Energy Jobs bill is an eco-
nomically smart way to
create jobs, reduce pollu-
tion and save money on
energy while we become
more independent. For
our community to thrive,
we need new industries
and protection against the
changing climate. This is a
balanced solution.

Like with the wind farms,
all this new work requires
people to do it. It’s the kind
of work that can’t be out-
sourced — construction
workers, electricians, engi-
neers and more. A project
means hiring local truckers,
more business for the hard-
ware stores and restaurants.
This legislation could mean
more funding to jumpstart
those projects.
Long term, if we’re us-
ing energy made closer
to home, it’s going to be
cheaper and more reliable.
I hear the other side of this
debate too. Folks worried
about “will this be a bur-
den on the economy?” and
the like. I plan a budget
at the road department. I
know prices for energy go
up and down, mostly out
of our control. You plan
for those as best you can.
We need to set ourselves
up for the future.
I’ll be watching closely.
