Oregon On The Record discusses the failure of green energy initiatives in Oregon and Washington, attributing it to outdated transmission infrastructure. Monica Samayoa and Tony Schick from Oregon Public Broadcasting explain that the states are lagging in renewable energy adoption, missing 2030 benchmarks but potentially meeting 2035-2040 goals.

The conversation also touches on the risks of brownouts and blackouts due to increasing energy demand and aging infrastructure.
