Okla. Energy Secretary In DC Pursing Partnerships To Benefit State's Green Energy Potential
Members of Governor Stitt’s cabinet are making a concerted effort to forge partnerships with the Biden administration that could benefit Oklahoma. In fact, Secretary of Energy & Environment Ken Wagner was in the nation's capital this week in pursuit of such partnerships.
Oklahoma's congressional delegation has repeatedly cast the Biden administration's more climate-friendly energy policy, which would gradually reduce the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels, as job-killing and unfriendly to oil and gas, the state's premier industry. Secretary Wagner said, so far, he's not seen any great harm to Oklahoma oil and gas. What he does see, he said in an interview Wednesday, is an opening.
