About Lights on Oregon

Welcome! Lights on Oregon is the web site of the new Campaign for Affordable and Reliable Energy (CARE), launched by Oregon FreedomWorks, the state chapter of national non-profit, non-partisan organzation working for economic policies that promote competition, innovation, and choice for consumers.

We all know that high energy prices hurt Oregon families and cost the community good paying jobs.  Looking to the future, Oregon needs to have a diverse portfolio of energy choices to support long term economic growth and ease family budgets.

Unfortunately, too often sensible energy solutions are blocked by extremists opposed even to developing relatively clean energy sources such as geothermal, wave, hydro, natural gas, and wind.  

That's why we've launched the Campaign for Affordable and Reliable Energy, which is a major grassroots effort to promote the development of clean, affordable, and reliable sources of energy, even in the face of extremist opposition.

I hope you'll join us in this effort by signing our petition, and forwarding this web site to your friends and family.

I'd also like to introduce you to Tim Trickey, who is part of the Lights on Oregon campaign team.

The fact of the matter is that Oregonians do not have to choose between reliable energy and the environment.  Existing technologies and new sources of energy can both be leveraged to provide clean and reliable energy.   We can develop clean sources of energy right here in Oregon so we have the power we need to live our lives.  The overwhelming majority of Oregonians want to unlock domestic energy supplies so we are not dependent upon hostile foreign countries to fuel our cars and to keep the lights on. We are that voice of reason in the energy debate.

Thanks for stopping by and for taking action, and for sharing this site with your friends!

Sincerely,
