Rogue Climate was founded in 2013 in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.
Our mission is to empower Southern Oregon communities most impacted by climate change, including low-income, rural, youth, seniors, and communities of color, to win climate justice by organizing for clean energy, sustainable jobs, and a healthy environment.

We do so through leadership development, political education, fostering conversations, and campaigns for policies that benefit our communities over the special interests of the largest corporations.

Tell your Representatives: Keep Oregon Nuclear-Free!

As Oregon moves away from fossil fuels, we need to watch out for false solutions that could do more harm than good. Nuclear energy is expensive, creates permanent toxic waste, and uses lots of water. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are not the answer. 

Will you send an email to your legislators to stop nuclear development? 

Several bills (SB 216, SB 215, and HB 2410) aimed at expanding nuclear power development in Oregon are advancing in both the House and Senate and legislators need to hear from community members to stop them. These bills threaten to unravel Oregon’s long-standing nuclear moratorium and open the door to dangerous, expensive, and unjust energy policies.

Your story matters! Share why you oppose nuclear energy and why we must focus on proven, safe, renewable energy solutions. Lawmakers get messages often, so sharing your unique perspective as a community member ensures they pay attention.Here are some talking points you can include:

  • Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMNRs) are unproven and risky. None operate in the U.S., and existing ones abroad are underperforming.

  • There is still no safe or permanent solution for nuclear waste. Any waste generated could remain in Oregon indefinitely.

  • Nuclear is outrageously expensive. It costs at least five times more than wind and solar and takes years longer to build.

  • Nuclear energy is not clean or just. From uranium mining on Indigenous lands to long-term contamination risks, it’s a false solution to climate change.

  • Grid modernization and renewables make nuclear unnecessary. We already have the tools we need so let’s use them.
