Scott Pruitts successor as Oklahoma AG opposes mega-wind project
AUG 18, 2017, 12:58 PM
Scott Pruitt’s successor in Oklahoma is showing the fossil fuel industry that he cares as much about it as the state’s former attorney general. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) appointed Mike Hunter as attorney general in February after Pruitt resigned from the position to become administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Trump administration.
In June, Hunter, along with 11 other attorneys general and one governor from right-leaning states, sent a letter threatening to sue California’s insurance commissioner over his decision to call for insurance companies that operate in the state to disclose their fossil fuel investments and divest from coal companies.
As attorney general, Hunter’s predecessor also held a soft spot for coal. When Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co. (OG&E) sought to extend the life of its Sooner coal plant by spending $500 million on pollution scrubbers, regulators rejected the idea. But Pruitt successfully intervened on its behalf. After twice rejecting OG&E plans to add the scrubbers, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission changed its mind in April and backed the utility’s approach after Pruitt filed a supportive statement.
