There is a plethora of compelling environmental issues that would make for engaging programming in the same vein as your excellent program on LNG earlier this year:

-the Columbia River Crossing
-salmon and dams
-water wars
-Portland harbor clean-up
-discussion of why Oregon continues to tolerate the ridiculously outmoded process by which PGE combusts coal at its Boardman power plant, absent modern pollution controls
-speaking of burning coal, how about focusing on Oregon's global warming commitments
-the much-needed and rapidly evolving transition to wind and solar power
-spotlight the successes and shortcomings of Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality
