Nancy J. Hamilton, Co-Director of the Oregon Business Alliance for Climate, will present the business case for passing cap and invest policy in Oregon at the City Club of Central Oregon Forum on Thurs., May 24.
“A Solution for Pollution? What Carbon Pricing Means for Oregon” is the title of Thursday’s May Forum. Hamilton will join guests Greg Dotson, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Oregon and Ed Finklea, Natural Gas Director for the Alliance of Western Energy Consumers.
The Oregon Business Alliance for Climate is a statewide, nonpartisan organization with more than 70 members that support moving forward in the 2019 Legislative Session with cap and invest legislation.
“Our members agree that a market-based approach to carbon pricing is the most effective and efficient way to reduce our state’s greenhouse gas reduction emissions and help put us on track to meet our goals,” Hamilton said. “I look forward to the conversation in Central Oregon.”
Hamilton heads the Alliance with Co-Director Steve Baczko.
