Energy, Salmon, Agriculture, and Community: Can We Come Together?
Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Time: 8:00am – 6:00pm
Location: Boise State University Student Union Building
What: The Pacific Northwest now faces two interconnected crises that can only be solved together – assuring our region’s energy system emerges reliable and affordable from the technological and market changes roiling it and reversing the continuing decline towards extinction of many Columbian Basin wild salmon and steelhead, especially those in the Snake River. To make durable progress on these vital linked issues, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho must come together to resolve them. The conference is designed to encourage action and discussion toward such resolution and to bring together the leaders and groups who can find and implement a long-term plan that meets everyone’s needs.
What We Do
Our well-attended events highlight independent, nonpartisan engagement on critical issues confronting Idaho, the American West, and the United States.
