Portland State's new energy initiative

portland state is a leader in sustainability and place based education, two faculty from Brooklyn College went to visit last year and we're largely impressed.  This initiative really ups the ante in terms of their role in promoting sustainability in the region.  because of the density of the NYC metro area it would play out differently, but still interesting to ponder, especially as Obama has put nukes back on the table. 

Portland General Electric, the region’s major urban utility, and Portland State University, the region’s major urban university, have formed a long-term strategic partnership to promote the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of the Portland metro area.
