Area of Focus
Bob is working to evaluate WRA’s progress under the Climate Fix, a 7-year strategic plan for how we use law and policy to reduce carbon emissions from the power sector in the Interior West by at least 51% by 2030 – the amount scientists say is necessary to keep global heating within 2° Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. By 2025, our plan will lock in commitments and lead to a 105 million ton cut in carbon emissions. WRA advocates for policies that will reduce carbon emissions from electric generation by decreasing reliance on fossil-fueled generation, increasing production of renewable energy and encouraging efficient use of electricity.
