The Governor Cares More About Being 'Open For Business' Than Protecting Protecting The Rights Of Citizens


During the podcast for Friday, October 25th, NeeAnn Clinton from Enid, in Garfield County, talked with us about the 5000 acre solar installation that is being planned for just north of Enid. Many residents are not in favor of this kind of installation because of the many risks to the community that come from solar installations - including long-lasting lithium battery fires that give off toxic fumes, use millions of gallons of water to fight and require expensive, special firefighting equipment. Unfortunately, so many of the 'green agenda' projects coming in droves to a city near you in Oklahoma, are not being regulated by Oklahoma regulatory agencies, allowing 'green energy' companies coming into the state - mostly from outside - to do business as they like. This leaves citizens trying to protect their property and individual rights without any assistance from the government they pay to protect them from unregulated industry. NeeAnn talks about trying desperately to find an Oklahoma regulatory agency to help them stop the private company NextEra, from turning 5000 acres of productive farmland into a toxic wasteland devoid of life.

Lack of Transparency, Danger, Fuels Concerns About Enid Solar Installation - ROPE Report Short


NeAnne Clinton, a resident of Enid, Oklahoma, came on the program today to talk about NextEra's decision to attempt to create a 10 thousand acre solar installation on the south side of Enid between the municipal airport and Vance Airforce Base.

What we learned was shocking. 

From lack of transparency (at least one contract being signed without benefit of an open meeting) and fudging of reported 'profits' (essentially, NextEra saying that the installation would bring in 63 million dollars in value to the City of Enid, but then not saying that the return would come solely from an increase in property taxes) to unaddressed safety concerns, Enid citizens are rightly angry and want the project scrapped. 

As we talk about in the video, 'green' energy is usurping private property, generating more landfill because it can't be recycled, using toxic and flammable constituents that create hazards for humans and wildlife alike and scamming citizens of tax dollars. IT MUST BE STOPPED.
