From the different tribes that span the state to the scores of settlers from every corner of the map that put down roots in the state's red clay, Oklahomans have some colorful heritage. But some are celebrating that heritage a little more than others. Two mechanics in Tulsa are actively celebrating their Scottish background--at least until the heatwave breaks.

Oklahoma has two things in abundance: natural gas and waterways, which is a good thing, since the latter is needed to drill for the former. But it can take a lot of time and money to haul in the necessary loads of water to a drill site, an issue that's pushed Devon Energy to develop a frack water recycling plant in order to have an eco-friendly supply of water on site.

On this week's ONR, schools across the country are growing more diverse, and it's causing unique problems for some Oklahoma educators. Clean energy abounds in the Sooner state, or it's trying to. Lawmakers and leaders continue to push for compressed natural gas vehicles, and while Oklahoma is eighth in the country for wind energy production, the loss of a tax credit could leave a booming industry blowing in the wind. Out of the ashes of the state's recent wildfires, communities come together to help students left homeless from the flames, and one program is helping rural residents better fireproof vulnerable houses. Plus, a trip to Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, an exploration of a tribe's history, and a look at the high-flying women of the Museum of the 99's on this ONR.

StateImpact: Wind Energy

Featured in Top Stories

While local government pushes for CNG, another Oklahoma energy industry looks to be left blowing in the wind. A federal wind production tax credit is set to expire, and it's causing a lot of concern among wind energy producers, enough that the fear of losing that tax credit is already causing ripples in the state's economy. We speak to StateImpact's Joe Wertz, who has been following this development in one of Oklahoma's largest industries.

As wildfires scorch Oklahoma, state groups and charitable organizations scramble to meet the needs of those affected by the blaze. But fires are unfortunately nothing new to the state. We speak with officials in one town that has learned the hard way how to prevent fire--and the best way to battle the flames. We speak with StateImpact Oklahoma Digital Reporter Joe Wertz about the volunteer firefighters that throw caution--and their day jobs--to the wind to save others. Plus, school funding has some officials fuming, the 2012 Kids Count report bumps the state up in the rankings of child welfare to an unenviable 40th place, and the art of the tattoo, on this episode of ONR.

Many of the men and women who have been fighting the wildfires across the state don't do it as a full-time job. Most are volunteer firefighters, people with other employment they drop at a moment's notice to save people's homes and lives. StateImpact Oklahoma has been following volunteer firefighters, and we spoke with StateImpact's Joe Wertz about these volunteers and the strain huge wildfires place on their shoulders.

Caring for livestock has long been part of Oklahoma's agricultural industry, but growing global demand for meat has led to cases of deplorable conditions at livestock production companies, bringing the companies under the scrutiny of their customers--and the Kirkpatrick Foundation. The group is launching a new initiative aimed at promoting animal welfare across the state, and helping them kick off their campaign is Dr. Bernard Rollin, the father of modern veterinary ethics. We spoke to Dr. Rollin about his work in animal welfare, and how livestock producers can pair the demands of consumers with the need for humane treatment of animals.
