Mike Mazzei on Energy & Oil

I killed some of the wasteful green energy programs

MAZZEI: Well, the oil and gas industry is of paramount importance in the state of Oklahoma, and it's one of the reasons why I killed some of the wasteful green energy programs that were just not a good use of taxpayer money. And why in the world would we want to subsidize competition against our oil and natural gas industry? One of the things industry leaders have told me is that we've gotten a little heavy handed on some permitting issues and some regulatory issues. That's making it more lengthy in time to get some of those new drills drilling sites going. So I will be advocating with the corporation commission to get some of our permitting processes approved in a much more timely process, so it doesn't go on for a year and a half or two years.

MUNSON: I will be an all-of-the-above energy approach. We have an abundance of energy and oil and gas with renewables, with wind and solar.
