What's up with that headline?
The Oregonian ran my op-ed today about the necessity of the Oregon Legislature taking action on clean energy legislation, both to create green jobs and combat global warming.
But what was up with that headline?
They ran: "What ever happened to those 'green' jobs?"
It doesn't really match the piece at all.
A more appropriate headline is: "Legislature Needs to Move Forward, Not Backward, on Green Jobs."
Regardless, the piece illustrates the urgent necessity of Oregon's Legislature showing leadership in the next 10 days, beating back efforts to weaken existing policies the promote renewable energy, and passing bills like HB 2186 to promote more clean energy and reduce global warming pollution.
We need proactive leaders that we can depend on to protect the health of our environment and that of Oregonians.
