Oregon regulators uphold approval for controversial transmission line that may serve a single data center rather than the public
The 300-mile B2H transmission project was approved to benefit hundreds of thousands of Oregon residents but will now will likely serve a data center

@wyden.senate.gov hits the nail on the head “This proposed Republican yard sale of natural treasures is a non-starter.” www.opb.org/article/2025...
Latest federal budget bill would sell Oregon public lands, boost logging
The federal government could start selling off thousands of acres of Oregon public lands if provisions added to the One Big Beautiful Bill win Congressional approval.

"These landmark investments secure a strong domestic timber supply"...hmmm, yet all the big coastal ports in Oregon are shipping raw logs to Asia (and the milling jobs and supply). Looks more like a way to pay back timber donors. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USD...

Logging interests often show cherry picked post fires photos with misleading broad claims of how logging prevents fire. Photo evidence to the contrary.
We visited the Little Lava fire footprint to see how forests that were commercially logged fared compared to mostly unlogged forests. 👀 previously logged forests still burned at high-severity and, in some cases, burned much hotter than adjacent, unlogged stands

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the photo below tells quite a story. This aerial image shows two adjacent forest stands within the Little Lava Fire burn area, in the Deschutes Nation...

Sounds like big ag would like to keep their pesticide habits secret. Better if no one knows and ground water supplies just get further poisoned. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/02/05/l...
Large crowd opposes bill that would require farmers to report fertilizer use to protect water • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Senate Bill 747 would require irrigated farms larger than 200 acres to report fertilizer use to help the state curb pollution.

✅ Freezes hiring of already short-handed air traffic control personnel
✅ Offers to “buyout” federal workers
✅ Guts key aviation security advisory group
And when one of our busiest airports is understaffed he has the nerve to blame wokeness?

Hoping a clean package of good public lands bills can pass before the end of congress. I strongly encourage @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social to hold the line on excluding any destructive bills like "Fix Our Forest".
In just the last few weeks, Oregon Wild supporters have collectively sent thousands of messages to Congress opposing the inclusion of the "Fix Our Forests" in any year-end public lands deal. (Thread)
