A clean power revolution (OregonBusiness.com)

"Oregon has seen the potential in other industries in the past and successfully supported them with targeted state policies — notably in the 1990s when it altered corporate tax structures to draw investment in the semiconductor industry. The clean-energy industry is potentially as important to the economy and arguably more so to society.

As Nancy Floyd notes, no state has a significant cluster of clean-energy companies yet. There is still time to get ahead of the curve. The future, and Oregon’s place in it, is still up for grabs."
