California shut down its last coal plant last week and nobody even noticed, it made so little little difference.
Meanwhile solar is up 17% and gas is down 17% from 2024. I have a few highlights... www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ding-dong-...

Oregon has made a lot of progress on smart policies to tackle the climate crisis and transition to affordable, clean energy for all. But we can't afford to let up now. Booming data centers and federal environmental rollbacks are setting us back.

Energy affordability! Thanks to the community groups backing Oregon's FAIR Act, NW Natural customers are protected from out-of-control rate hikes. This week's 5.4% is far less than the utility wanted to impose, and will be the only increase for the next 18 months.
NW Natural customers’ bills to increase by more than 5%
This will be the one of the first major utility rate hikes since lawmakers passed a set of laws that seek to prevent rate hikes during winter months.
