ndidate Bill Bradbury will be joining us for this year's Washington County Sustainability Summit at Pacific. Mr Bradbury will be delivering the keynote address at the March 6th Summit, speaking about the challenge of combating global warming while retaining our region's competitiveness in the clean energy economy.The past several years have seen Bill Bradbury become one of Oregon's foremost voices for environmental responsibility and clean tech competitiveness. Since becoming one of the first 50 people from across the country to participate in former Vice President Al Gore's trainings on global climate change, he has given over 200 presentations on Climate Change in Oregon around the state - including one at Pacific University in February of 2008.
During his time as Oregon Secretary of State, Bill Bradbury became the first public official elected in Oregon at the statewide level to publicly oppose developing high-carbon liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure in this state. This marked a turning point in environmental and land-rights activists' struggle against LNG development, as several other high-ranking public officials announced their opposition to LNG projects soon after Mr Bradbury. In addition to protecting Oregon communities from LNG, Bill Bradbury has been an outspoken advocate of clean energy, sustainable transportation, and transitioning our state away from coal use.
It's an honor to have gubernatorial candidate Bill Bradbury joining us for the Second Annual Washington County Sustainability Summit.
