State, British Columbia Establish Partnership
Oregon and British Columbia have established a partnership to work together for climate and ocean protections.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski and British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell recently signed a memorandum of understanding to agree that joint action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The two governments also committed to the concept of a "Hydrogen Highway" and jointly exploring the infrastructure necessary so that by 2010 a hydrogen-powered vehicle would have access to enough fuel stops along the way to drive from British Columbia to California.
The agreement also means that both governments will pursue clean and renewable energy policies with a focus on ocean renewable energy.
