✍️ Irene Gilbert, a 76-year-old retired state employee, is using a liberal policy from the 1970s to stall green energy projects in Oregon, citing concerns about the impact on rural landscapes and wildlife.
👉 Oregon's energy siting process is designed to be slow and deliberative, allowing for public input and environmental reviews. 👉 Gilbert has used this process to file multiple challenges to wind farms and transmission lines, delaying or blocking projects. 👉 Her actions are seen as a barrier to Oregon's goal of reducing fossil fuel use and increasing renewable energy production. 👉 Gilbert claims to be an environmentalist, but her actions are seen as contradictory to the goals of the environmental movement.
