| Content | Oklahoma should concentrate its efforts into becoming a comprehensive energy state to include: oil, natural gas, biofuels, geothermal, solar, wind. Solar, geothermal, wind and biofuels should be aggressively promoted with carefull considerations to environment, practicality, public opinion and economics. Oklahoma will be able to export energy and green certificates associated with green energy. Making the state more energy efficient and more efficient in using all resources, including water, gas, etc, is essential for "freeing up" energy for export. Also, with green energy available, we will be able to attract energy intensive industries, which tend to have highly skilled well paid jobs. "Greener" state will allow for eco-tourism, more retirees and high-tech companies. Businesses will make money, people will enjoy clean air, state will collect taxes, and because of diversification, economic growth will be more stable.
