Nuclear Power

The state of Oklahoma, like many other states, is evaluating different options when discussing how best to produce power in the future. One idea that continues to rise to the forefront of this debate is nuclear energy. Countries like France get a majority of their power from nuclear energy. Many argue that it is safer than it was, and is cleaner than fossil fuels. We want to know what you think. Send us your ideas on Nuclear Energy and on Energy Policies today!

Energy Policies

As we continue through 2007, one major concern has continued all this year as it did all last year: what are we going to do about oil? As oil prices have steadily risen over the last 2 years to record heights, we have begun to see the strains of it on our economy. The energy industry, however, is vital to Oklahoma now as it was a century ago. What do you think would be best for Oklahoma? Send us your ideas on energy today at http://www.100ideasok.com/!
