Oregon Senator Plans To Give “Polluters Pay” Legislation A Try Again
Give it a shot, the courts will kill it
Southern Oregon senator revives bill to make big oil pay for disasters driven by climate change
A bill that would require some of the largest, most profitable oil and gas companies in history to pay damages for disasters fueled by climate change is back on the table after the Oregon Legislature failed to pass it less than a year ago.
State Sen. Jeff Golden, D-Ashland, is again championing the Climate Superfund Bill, along with several Portland and Salem-area Democrats.
Modeled after similar laws in New York and Vermont, Senate Bill 1541 would create a new disaster fund housed in the Oregon Treasury, seeded with millions of dollars in damages paid by the handful of companies most responsible for emitting planet-warming greenhouse gasses causing catastrophic climate change.
These include companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and about 50 other oil, gas, coal and cement producers that are directly linked to 80% of the world’s global greenhouse gas emissions during the past decade alone.
Golden reintroduced the bill during a public hearing Thursday in the Senate Natural Resources and Wildfire Committee, which he chairs. A previous version of the bill died in the Senate Energy and Environment Committee during the 2025 session, after chair Sen. Janeen Sollman, D-Hillsboro, said there wasn’t enough time to consider it.
Well, it’s a cute little shakedown to create a slush fund for Democrats to do stupid crap with. Too bad the fossil fuels companies won’t simply refuse to sell their products to the governments that try this crap. Let’s see them operate without fossil fuels.

The dazzlingly stupid bureaucrats running these decrepit governments that use tons and tons of oil while complaining that those selling the oil are causing catastrophic climate change and should be sued remind me of that Hollywood nut job who bought a million dollar mansion in Hollywood and says you cant own property in America because it’s on stolen land.
