Clean Energy & Electrification

Expand solar and efficiency, electrify fleets, grow EV infrastructure, lower energy bills, and use an OUC board seat to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels.

HB 1281 and HB 1645 preempt local restrictions on natural-gas appliances and related infrastructure, while OUC and utility regulation remain outside unilateral mayoral control.

The city can electrify what it owns and can advocate inside OUC governance. It cannot ban private hookups or dictate regional energy-market decisions that rest with independent utility and state structures.

Her climate record includes caucus leadership and opposition to anti-net-metering legislation, but that does not change the city's legal authority over private fuel choice.

Electrify municipal assets, scale city-side efficiency work, expand public charging, and use the OUC seat for advocacy rather than treating private fuel bans as executable local policy.
