We believe that Oklahoma needs to aggressively develop its renewable
resources to spur economic development (particularly in rural
areas), improve the environment, and preserve our state's position
as a net electricity exporter. Oklahoma is blessed with abundant
natural gas and renewable energy, and we believe these complimentary
energy resources represent the future of clean domestic energy
supply. Renewable energy; with no fuel costs, very low operating
costs, and unlimited supply; can help stabilize long term energy
prices - reducing the risk of price spikes.
OREC Current Activities:
- Recruit a major wind turbine manufacture to locate a facility
in the state
- Educate landowners, policy makers, and the general public
about renewable energy through workshops and conferences.
- Stimulate locally owned renewable energy projects.
- Stimulate local companies to become more involved in renewable
energy development.
- Promote the development of an ethanol production plant in the
state.
- Study the economic impacts of importing coal on our state.
