The Pacific ocean and coast sustains our economies and communities. That’s why California, Oregon, and Washington are investing in clean energy technologies that can power our homes and businesses without risking our fishing, tourism, and outdoor industries. The Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast is opposed to new or expanded offshore oil drilling. This panel will be comprised of business leaders talking about the action they're taking to make this alliance a powerful new tool to combat offshore oil drilling off the West Coast.

The alliance is also quickly becoming a great example of how a coalition of non-profits and businesses across three states are able to work in collaboration.
