Reliable Energy
Reliable power. Practical energy policy.
Dr. Kahl believes Oregon families, farms, ports, small businesses, and local industries need dependable, affordable energy. Her approach supports practical solutions that strengthen reliability without sacrificing communities, working lands, or economic stability.
Reliability
Families and businesses need power they can count on, not energy policy that creates higher costs or instability.
Affordability
Energy decisions should protect household budgets, local employers, agriculture, ports, and working industries.
Smart Siting
Clean energy projects should prioritize developed spaces and avoid unnecessary harm to land, water, and communities.
Reliable energy for families, farms, and employers
Affordable power matters to Intel and the Silicon Forest workforce in Hillsboro Oregon, manufacturers in Beaverton Oregon, farms near Forest Grove and Cornelius, and ports along the Oregon Coast. Energy policy affects household budgets, job growth, food security, and emergency readiness across OR-01.
Dr. Kahl supports practical energy independence, reliable baseload power, smart siting, and accountability for federal rules that raise costs on Oregon middle class families and Oregon small businesses.
