[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2774785, member: 5412"] I retired from OGE. Your correct that it was most cost efficient to put in coal fired power plants. Still is. When units were put in at the Sooner power plant, the company bought Wyoming coal because it would produce the highest BTU's with the lease amount of pollution. The Okla Corporation Commission required the power plants to use 10% Oklahoma produced coal. It was extremely high in sulfur, but the coal owners lobbied the OCC to allow it. It had to be trucked in which was terribly expensive, and a separate blending unit had to be built to mix it with the Wyoming coal. After a couple of years of blending coal, the EPA required emissions couldn't be met, so the program was scrapped. [/QUOTE]
