Show Notes
Oregons Climate Protection Program imposes steep penalties on natural gas users, with Woodburn Nursery facing a hefty bill for new heaters and potential job losses due to skyrocketing heating costs. The program, initiated by former Governor Kate Brown, has been criticized for its lack of transparency and potential job-killing effects. Critics argue that it overlooks electric utilities, lacks market access for cheaper credits, and funnels billions in penalties to nonprofits rather than state coffers. As Governor Kotek focuses on business growth, pressure mounts to reform the program for accountability and fairness.
