In Oklahoma legislative energy news, SB 831, originally the Nuclear Energy Incentives Act, retitled the Oklahoma Energy Stability Act, has been killed in conference committee after a serious outpouring of opposition by grassroots and natural gas interests. Thank you to everyone who called or wrote (or both) to let your senators, the senators on the committee and ALL the senators know how you felt about SB 831!
Unfortunately, SB 1668 is still kicking, which amends the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority Act to allow municipal power authorities to purchase energy from nuclear facilities AND invest in nuclear facilities, both of which are prohibited under current statutory authority. Please fire up your participatory spirit again today, as early as possible, to let the senate know that SB 1668 is not a good bill for Oklahoma. It will endanger the safety and well-being of our families, our environment and our economic welfare. Oklahoma has plenty of renewable and interim resources to keep us all powered up and safe for a bright and beautiful future! Thank you!!
