Oklahoma Freedom Caucus issues statement regarding recent proposed partnership with Denmark
OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 4th) – Today, the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus led by Chairman Shane Jett issued the following statement regarding the announced proposed partnership between Oklahoma and Denmark
“God has blessed Oklahoma with rich abundant petroleum resources. Oklahoma’s oil and gas is all natural local sourced and we must reject the unscientific climate change cult ideology that has spread like a cancer through so many industries, states, and nations. The battle against Oklahoma’s God given natural resources is an assault on common sense, logic, reason, and actually science based evidence,” Chairman Jett said. “The Oklahoma Freedom Caucus supports free enterprise and partnering with allies, but we caution against interfering with free market principles by directing tax dollars to private companies and creating an unfair market place with subsidies.”
Oklahoma and Denmark share similarities such as oil and gas being a primary industry and a strong Christian heritage.
“Oklahoma is an energy rich State,” House Vice Chair Olsen said. “And we believe the majority of Oklahomans don’t want the government pushing any aspect of the Democrat’s green new deal scams. We should let the free market work and focus on Oklahoma companies.”
The proposed partnership between Oklahoma and Denmark uses terminology such as “clean energy,” “green energy,” and “carbon capture.”
“Our concern is in the specific details of this proposed partnership” Senate Vice Chair Deevers said. “While we can appreciate Denmark and the opportunities for this proposed partnership, we must put Oklahoma First and foremost. It seems there are too many concerns under this current proposal for us to offer our support.”
