Newspaper editors stand by oil and gas

 

The rolling blackouts and the frigid weather that gripped Oklahoma last week gave pause for editors at the Enid News and Eagle to suggest…oil and gas are still reliable sources of energy.

In an editorial over the weekend, the newspaper took note—

” With respect to the electrical problems faced in Oklahoma and Texas, in particular, the issues point out that we can’t take oil and gas development in this country for granted. It takes energy to produce electricity.

Oil and gas remain the most reliable energy source we have. During the recent cold spell, wind power production was diminished when turbines froze in the cold.”
