For NPR's Climate Solutions Week, Oklahoma reporters are exploring how wind energy lets some Oklahomans live where and how they want. In the second story of that three-part series, we'll look at what policymakers and economists are saying about Oklahoma's growing wind sector.

Scientists in Kansas, Missouri and other states were poised to start research to cut U.S. reliance on fertilizer imports, keep biofuel farming cost-competitive and tackle a potent greenhouse gas.

The state is aggressively pushing to deploy the next generation of atomic energy that would power big industrial operations.

Experts were skeptical of a report from the Texas grid operator showing the state could run short of power by 2026.

It took a man actively trying not to find oil to make the biggest oil discovery in U.S. history.

President Trump signed an executive order temporarily stopping approvals for new wind projects.

In Oklahoma, as the wind sweeps down the plain, it glides through dozens of wind farms. But what happens when the turbines on those farms are no longer in service? A new recycling center has opened in northwestern Oklahoma to give them new life.

A state judge has temporarily blocked Oklahoma from enforcing its ban on using so-called “woke banks” for state business.

The massive share of renewable energy on the grid is a positive sign for efforts to combat climate change. It will become ever-more common as solar, wind and battery-storage facilities are added.

As the number of wind and solar farms increases, so does opposition in the rural areas where they’re being built. While more counties and townships passed restrictions in the last year, some states are responding by passing laws making it harder for local governments to say no to wind and solar.
