Oklahoma to get millions in federal funding for planned electricity transmission project (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amid unprecedented electricity demand from data centers, cryptomining and industry operations, states are receiving a combined $1.9 billion in federal funds to improve their aging grids. The Three Corners Connector is a planned 300-mile high-voltage transmission line between Guymon in Oklahoma’s panhandle and Pueblo in southern Colorado. Houston-based Grid United is developing the project, which has resulted in $67 million in grants for the City of Guymon and Guymon Public Schools. DOE Under Sec
Black bears are slowly increasing in Oklahoma. Scientists are taking a closer look (opens the original)
Read excerpt
American black bears once roamed all of Oklahoma, but unregulated hunting and severe habitat loss wiped out the population by the early 1900s. That changed decades later when bears began wandering across state lines after Arkansas reintroduced the species. Researchers say Oklahoma’s black bear population is growing gradually, but more information about the species is needed. A four-year project between Oklahoma State University and Mississippi State University will study bears in the Ouachita Mo
Petition against rising electricity bills catches attention of Oklahoma utility regulators (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 26,000 people signed a Change.org petition demanding more transparency and fewer rate increases from Public Service Company of Oklahoma.

Read excerpt
In western Oklahoma, the Kiowa Tribe is preparing to plug potentially dozens of abandoned oil and gas wells and remediate the surrounding sites. The tribe recently received $1 million in federal funds to help identify and assess the wells. Orphaned wells can be difficult to find because of a lack of documentation or physical markers. Estimates for the number of undocumented orphaned wells vary across organizations. State regulators earlier this year said Oklahoma could have more than 61,000 undo
With ‘relatively few left,’ Oklahoma works to restore wetlands to its landscape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before widespread agriculture, timber cutting and urban development, researchers estimate Oklahoma was home to more than 2 million acres of wetlands. Human activities have caused that acreage to shrink by at least 67% over time, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Wetlands are areas completely covered or drenched in water, and they’re found across Oklahoma. Recognizable sites include the Red Slough Wildlife Management Area in McCurtain County or the panhandle’s playa lakes, which te
