As a lifelong Oregonian, I prefer our forests green, not black.

We also have to stop the flow of precursor chemicals that meth cooks use to boil up this poison.

I did not come to Washington to raise the electricity rates by as much as $40 per month as this plan would do.

Removing substantial fuel loads from our forests helps prevent catastrophic fire and better protects species, watersheds and neighboring communities that call them home.

Since 2000, we've seen base power rates rise by 50%.

A $1.7 billion average increase in electricity costs is estimated to result in a $1.3 billion decrease in personal income and a loss of 13,000 more jobs in the region.

Whether fuel cell system development in central Oregon, wind power generation along the Columbia Gorge, or geothermal energy in southern Oregon, investing in new energy sources makes America more energy independent while creating good paying, environmentally friendly jobs.
