Oregon’s Energy Future
 Photo: Oregon Department of Energy Current sources of Oregon’s energy. How do you think this will change in the next 15 or 150 years? Geologists and other scientists study the Earth to help us understand the history of our planet. They can also help us understand climate change and how, by working together, we can continue to move toward a stable energy supply, improved energy efficiency, the creation of more clean, renewable energy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions for Oregon’s next 150 years.
In this window you can learn about sources of renewable energy in Oregon including wave and geothermal as well as other innovative Oregonian energy sources. You can also learn ways you can help meet Oregon’s goals of greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
See Window 15 for more on climate change as well as additional links.
