OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -- On Monday, Feb 10, Oklahoma Sierra Club will hold a press event on the future of the solar industry in Oklahoma. While Oklahoma is already a leader in generating electricity from wind, Oklahoma’s solar has lagged behind. Across the country, solar energy is one of the fastest growing job sectors, and--with the right legislation and leadership--Oklahoma could be a leader in the solar industry.
