In Conservations with OPB: Northwest Energy

Thursday, January 29th, 6 pm

The Redd

RSVP here

Take a deep dive with OPB into Northwest energy: how the Pacific Northwest is powered — and where it's falling short.

The Pacific Northwest was once lauded for its commitment to sustainability – but now, efforts in Oregon to innovate around energy have waned. What can we learn from this shift, what can we do and where does this leave Oregon going forward?

Join OPB reporters Monica Samayoa, Tony Schick, Jes Burns, and Antonio Sierra in conversation with climate and energy experts as they break down the state of energy in the Pacific Northwest. Panel conversations will be moderated by OPB's Geoff Norcross and Aaron Scott.
