Governor Tina Kotek signed House Bills 2065 and 2066 into law on July 17, making Oregon the first U.S. state to formalize statewide policies supporting community and private microgrids.

The bills aim to streamline interconnection with utilities and establish a regulatory framework—including the creation of “microgrid zones”—to enable faster development and broader ownership beyond utilities and large companies.

Microgrids, which can operate independently during outages by leveraging local renewable generation and storage, are seen as critical tools for energy resilience—particularly during wildfires, seismic events like Cascadia, and power shutoffs.

With strong bipartisan support and leadership from community groups like Sustainable Northwest, advocates see Oregon’s approach as the nation’s most ambitious and a potential model for other states facing grid reliability and affordability challenges .

Separated as toddlers in the 1940s, Mariane Griffin and Donald Hefke were finally reunited last week after nearly 80 years apart. Their emotional reconnection, decades in the making, highlights the power of family, persistence, and faith. It’s a beautiful reminder that even after years of separation, hope can still bring people back together.

From spongy parks to oyster reefs, investors are funding ways to adapt to climate change (www.wsj.com)

Investors are increasingly funding climate adaptation projects like sponge parks and oyster reefs to protect communities from extreme weather.

In Washington, D.C., a “spongy” park was built with permeable surfaces and underground drains to absorb stormwater, financed through an environmental impact bond.

In Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay, oyster reefs are being restored to reduce storm surges, clean water, and capture carbon, with support from private capital and carbon credit markets.

The global adaptation market is expected to reach $2 trillion by 2026 as insurance deserts grow and climate impacts worsen.

These nature-based solutions offer multiple benefits—flood protection, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration—while shifting the focus from only reducing emissions to also building resilience.
