Use evidence and pilot studies to drive policy.
Produce the data policymakers need to modernize rules, including mapping low-conflict geothermal sites and testing battery EPR logistics in real-world pilots. Use research outputs to show how permitting can speed up without sacrificing safeguards and what labeling and transport requirements are practical. This matters because evidence can turn abstract debates into concrete implementation choices.
Why this works
- Demonstration projects can sway skeptics by proving concepts (e.g.
- showing that a streamlined permit process still protects the environment).
- Data on battery recycling rates and safety can guide smarter regulations (like what exact labeling is needed).
Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition
Tax-deductibleCoalition advancing abundant wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia–Snake Basin.
Save Our Wild Salmon (SOS) is a coalition of conservation, fishing, tribal, business, and clean-energy groups working to restore abundant, self-sustaining wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia–Snake River Basin through coordinated advocacy, policy change, and public engagement.
Mechanism
How Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition uses funding
- Support mapping of low-conflict geothermal sites to prioritize leasing and reduce conflicts
- Compile evidence on permitting timelines and the causes of avoidable delays
- Run pilots on battery collection, labeling, transport, and recycling logistics to test EPR mechanics
- Publish findings in policy-ready formats, including model guidance language
- Brief agencies and legislative staff on results and recommendations
- Track adoption of findings and update research as implementation questions evolve
