OPINION: Oregon must protect its salmon and build an affordable energy future

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... More than 40 years ago, I caught my first salmon, a 25-pound spring Chinook in the Willamette. In truth, that fish caught me. I was pregnant with my second child and I was determined that those magnificent fish would be here for my children and generations to come. I brought that fish home and proudly fed my family. The next fish I caught was a steelhead, and honestly, it’s terrifying to hear that this year’s run of steelhead may be the smallest since we started tracking their numbers.

Amid Idaho's solar boom, researchers want to get planning right

As energy demand grows in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, researchers hope to develop guidelines for building solar projects responsibly. Boise State University is teaming up with The Nature Conservancy to study different aspects of solar development, including where the projects are located and how they affect nearby communities and wildlife. Molly Levy, policy fellow for The Nature Conservancy in Idaho, said she is focusing on how clean energy projects are permitted and placed, including how to balance issues like transmission, converting agricultural land and environmental and cultural impacts. "It's just becoming increasingly apparent that understanding those dynamics is going to be really important for supporting clean energy development that is both locally supported and also aligned with conservation goals," Levy explained. Levy has talked with county leaders, utility managers, landowners and advocacy groups about navigating the process. Because permitting happens at the local level and every county has different rules, she hopes the research can identify common themes and offer guidance as solar projects ramp up statewide. In 2025, Idaho generated 49 times more solar power than in 2016, enough to power nearly 180,000 homes . Levy's work complements a regional program funded by the Science for Nature and
