Opinion: Over 40% of Oklahoma’s energy generation comes from wind turbines and solar companies are showing increased interest in building projects in the state. Oklahoma’s position as a top-tier renewable energy producer may fade following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Cuts to renewable energy incentives will drive up consumer costs in Oklahoma • Oklahoma Voice
Cuts are expected to drive up electricity bills across the U.S., with some of the sharpest increases in Republican-led states, according to Energy Innovation, a nonpartisan think tank.

You are reading that right. Some Wisconsinites could pay $30,000 more next year for the exact same health insurance.
My Republican colleagues still have a chance to stop this – the time to act is now.
