I have asthma now and never did before. I'd like to see action now. Why wait to save future generations.

Pay a little now or a "lot" later. Plus it has to get started now to have a better chance ofhelping decrease global warming.

For 30 years all I have heard is "We only have 5 years to act on climate change before it's too late". I am done with this scam!

Because this state is already taxing everyone to the extent that no one can afford to live here.

Every night I turn on the news to see the state proposing another way to tax, or raise the taxes paid by the citizens. At what point does paying taxes become theft by government decree?

When the Pot growers keep pumping CO2 into their plants to grow them bigger and faster don't expect me to pay high prices so they can have their munchies.

No, it's just another tax with no applied results. Meant to go to the Congress coffers for mismanagement.

How exactly is that going to cut CO2 emissions? People still need to eat and go to work. Do we not remember 2008 when gas was $5 a gallon and a recession hit?

This is a joke right? How stupid do you think we are? Do you forget that tree's breathe co2, and expel oxygen, or did common core remove that truth from its curriculum too?

No. Imposing expensive policies on the basis of a currently fashion theory that a few decades hence will seem as silly as is now the case with eugenics, bleeding etc., is absurd.

Penalize the companies, not consumers. Hold them accountable for their practices, and get them to change how they operate.

Oregon taxpayers are in trouble. Brown and liberal legislators are looking to raise taxes over 2 Billion dollars, increase big government, and add bad business regulations.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
