Pump It Up: Oregon's Clean Fuels Debate

Wikimedia

The Oregon legislature recently voted to continue the "clean fuels" program begun six years ago. 

The program requires companies selling motor fuels in Oregon to reduce carbon by 10% over the next ten years. 

The Oregon Environmental Council and other groups pushed for the passage of this year's bill, despite warnings from opponents that passage could set up fights over transportation funding. 

OEC's Jana Gastellum joins us for a detailed discussion of the points of the clean fuels program.
