CUB was instrumental in creating the Energy Trust of Oregon to deliver energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. - Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CUB was central to the negotiations that led to the closure of Oregon’s only coal plant and worked as part of a broad coalition to pass Oregon’s 100% clean electricity legislation. - Protect the accessibility and affordability of telephone and internet access services.
