Governor fires Cabinet Secretary over “Tyson vs. Oklahoma” lawsuit
SUMMARY: Governor Stitt has fired Cabinet Secretary Ken McQueen, who oversaw energy and the environment, amid his involvement in a long-standing lawsuit against Tyson Foods over chicken waste pollution in Eastern Oklahoma. Stitt expressed disappointment, describing the lawsuit as a radical attempt at regulation through litigation. The case, initiated nearly two decades ago, addresses pollution impacting local waterways, including the Illinois River. Despite a federal ruling against Tyson, the lawsuit remains unresolved as a settlement was not finalized. McQueen is replaced by Jeff Starling, previously the top attorney for the lagoon industry.

Judge denies death row inmate delay request, clemency set for Monday
SUMMARY: Judge denies death row inmate Kevin Underwood’s request for a stay of execution ahead of his scheduled execution on December 19 for the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin, which involved plans to cannibalize her body. Underwood’s execution process has been complicated by turmoil within the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, including the recent resignation of two appointees and ongoing criminal investigations. Despite his attorneys’ claims that the addition of a new board member could hinder proceedings and potentially violate open meeting laws, the judge ruled against delaying the execution. Clemency is set for discussion on Monday.

EPA: Methane emissions down 44% in top oil and gas producing basins | National
SUMMARY: Methane emissions from major oil and gas basins in the U.S. fell by 44% from 2011 to 2013, with a significant drop of up to 87% reported from 2019 to 2023, according to EPA data. Texas led this reduction, coinciding with record-breaking crude oil production. Emissions intensity, which measures methane emissions per barrel, has notably decreased, particularly in the Williston and Appalachian Basins. The Permian Basin saw a 32% reduction in methane emissions, with a dramatic 66% drop in flaring intensity since 2019. Texas could rank third globally in natural gas and fourth in oil production if it were a separate country.
