Oregon Senate Walkout Jeopardizes Climate Action and Future Elections.

The Republican Senate walkout in Oregon is stalling climate action bills, including those that would help the state meet its climate goals and secure tens of millions of dollars in federal funding for clean energy and green infrastructure projects. Lawmakers and policy advocates are concerned that the state might miss out on the funding available through the Inflation Reduction Act, which would help low-income residents and communities of color adapt to climate change. The walkout has affected climate policy before, including in 2019 when similar actions killed a package to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
