Donald Trump's New Staffer Request Has Potential Issue

NW Natural lobbyists also working for Oregon governments combatting climate change, report says

The article from OregonLive discusses a report by the Energy and Policy Institute revealing that lobbyists for NW Natural, Oregon's largest gas utility, are also working for various Oregon government entities involved in climate change initiatives. This dual representation raises concerns about conflicts of interest, as NW Natural has a vested interest in promoting natural gas, which contradicts efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The report highlights that these lobbyists, including former state lawmakers, are paid to influence legislation in favor of NW Natural while simultaneously advising or representing government bodies like the Oregon Department of Energy and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Critics argue that this situation could undermine the state's climate goals, as these lobbyists might push for policies that favor gas infrastructure over renewable energy solutions. The article also notes that while some officials see no conflict, others, including environmental groups, are calling for stricter regulations on lobbyist activities to ensure transparency and integrity in climate policy-making.
