Electricity demand is growing. We can meet this challenge with a two-way energy system that taps into a building’s potential to shift its energy usage when demand is high, like pre-cooling on a hot day. See what else NW leaders said at last month’s summit: kgw.com/article/news/l…

Solar and wind energy are rising across the country as coal plants are shut down. Supportive policies and investments can wean fossil gas off our energy system, too. See below how your state’s energy landscape has changed in recent years. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
