    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    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

    Kiowa Tribe plans to clean up orphaned oil and gas wells on its land (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    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
