Several state leaders, including Attorney General Gentner Drummond, joined the event. “There’s a ton of issues with industrial wind and solar. We’re talking economic issues. We’re talking environmental issues. Property values suffer,” state Rep. Jim Shaw, who represents District 32, said. House and Senate leaders said they are hoping to make a change in the upcoming legislative session, even saying they hope Gov. Kevin Stitt issues an executive order forcing clean energy initiatives to pause. “It will impact us by the air we breathe. It could ruin our water wells, which it probably will. It will influence floodwaters,” Suzanne Hunter said. “We built out in the rural area for the environment, and all of a sudden now they’re trying to destroy the land around us.” But others like attorney Jim Roth said clean energy benefits Oklahoma in multiple ways. “Right now, renewable energy, if it’s in the grid, is the cheapest form of electricity every Oklahoman has. That’s bottom-dollar savings bottom line to every Oklahoma family that’s working through their budget at their kitchen table,” Roth said. But some farmers have concerns about building turbines on properties. “There’s no wheat ground left, and the floodwaters from these panels–our farm is on Skeleton Creek, and it will flood our best bottom land. So, we will have no means of keeping that farm alive. That’s our income, and we need that to live,” farmer Shirley West said. >> Download the KOCO 5 AppBut others invite the efforts. “Farmers and ranchers in western Oklahoma and now eastern Oklahoma and elsewhere have invited these projects to their property under their private land rights, and they’re receiving payments for that,” Roth said. “They’re still grazing. They’re still ranching. They’re still planting grow crops. They’re still doing all those things with their land, and so it’s not displaced agricultural land in large measure.” The Legislature will look at multiple bills and decide on the next steps for renewable energy in Oklahoma.
