Keystone Pipeline (5:20)

Featured in Top Stories

President Obama has the final say over whether the 1,700 mile keystone pipeline will be finished. To make that decision he has years of environmental impact studies and public hearings to review. The pipeline would funnel crude from the oil sands of Canada to refineries in Texas. The final decision comes down to a choice between creating new jobs and protecting the environment.

Crumbling Infrastructure (8:43)

Featured in Top Stories

The consequences of long term neglect are now very evident across the state as infrastructure is giving way to years of service with little to no maintenance. From bridges that are termed structurally deficient to a state capitol building that is partially cordoned off due to a crumbling facade, the urgency of major repairs is becoming clearer with each passing day.

Featured in It's Your Government

A bill has been filed in Washington which, if approved, would pay 4000 Federal Aviation Administration workers for wages they lost while they were furloughed for nearly two weeks in a partial shutdown of the agency. Some of those workers are employed in Oklahoma, home to one of the FAA’s most important facilities. The FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center plays a major role in maintaining the safety of the flying public and those who work in the skies over America. More in this "It's Your Government" report.

Power Grid (10:29)

Featured in Top Stories

The power grid that feeds electricity to homes and businesses across the state is under heavy stress this summer. So far there have been no reports of rolling black outs or brown-outs and it appears the demand is not outstripping the supply of electricity. But the need for more power is growing, which means expansion is coming to get that power to the market place. Unlike Oklahoma, most of Texas is not connected to the energy grid that covers nearly all of the states east of the Rockies. The electric reliability council of Texas underestimated demand for power this summer, which caused disruptions to large users and narrowly avoided rolling blackouts. According to energy experts, the power problems in Texas showed the vulnerabilities of their de-regulated market and the state's inability to get help from other places when it runs short of electricity. Dick Pryor also spoke with Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony about Oklahoma's electric infrastructure.
