#Oregon + #PDX talk #Climate #Cost #Equity.
Talk is not enough.
Check this #PCEF presentation on 12/15/22 by #Portland BPS Climate Policy Analyst Kyle Diesner (starts at 40:33) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9p_GUSpf7o
He was honest about #carbon #emissions:
We've done the easy stuff well
We've flatlined when we need to speed up
Reductions now are mostly not driven by #policy
25% of emissions come from #electricity generation (and Ecars won't save us)
#Transportation is HUGE emissions problem: 42%

Right Sizing for Reality
#Oregon has elected some brilliant political leaders. Rep #KhanhPham is one of them. She serves on the State #Transportation Committee.
Pham is challenging why $7.5 Billion of DOT money is going into an ill-defined mega-project rather than where our priorities must be: #PublicTransit, #Safe #Streets, connected communities and #Climate solutions.
None of the $7.5 Billion is for #LightRail, #BikeLanes, #Walkways.
