Bill Bradbury works for sustainability
Democrat Bill Bradbury is the Oregon Secretary of State. He has been both a state representative and senator. The relationship between energy production and the environment is an integral part of Bradbury’s agenda. Gov. Ted Kulongoski appointed Bradbury to chair of the Oregon Sustainability Board, which is directed to assist local governments and the private sector with the development of sustainability practices. Born in Chicago, Bradbury attended Antioch College in Ohio. He has worked as a television news reporter in San Francisco and Oregon, and also owned a restaurant in Bandon, Ore.
Bradbury address alternative energy
Bradbury, who received training from Al Gore on speaking about global warming with a special emphasis on Oregon, will discuss sustainability’s role in the state. During his address, “Energy Policy and Oregon’s Future,” Bradbury will talk about how rural and urban Oregon can benefit from new developments in the field of environmentally-sound energy, including wave energy, solar energy and wind energy. Bradbury will discuss how alternative energy production can be economic opportunities for the regions of Oregon where they might be implemented, as well as strategies for adopting these types of energy.
Energy,wave power devices remain focus
Wave power is produced by changing the energy created by ocean waves into the kind of energy we would use for electricity. To install an efficient wave power device, the area must contain waves consistent and large enough to create significant energy. The Northwestern coast of the U.S., including sites near Newport, Ore., and Coos Bay, Ore., supports the necessary conditions. Wave power devices can be placed nearshore, offshore, or far offshore. The devices are also a clean, environmentally friendly way to produce electricity because there is no waste produced and it is inexpensive to maintain.
