State Rep. Randy Terrill — the Moore Republican best known for authoring Oklahoma’s hard-line immigration law, once considered to be the toughest in the nation — announced this week that he will again propose legislation to promote alternative energy in Oklahoma, according to a news release.

“In Oklahoma, we have done a good job of encouraging new oil-and-gas exploration,” the release says. “It’s time to give support to alternative energy technologies that will generate energy in the quantity that we require.”

The legislation is said to offer tax credits for people who install solar, wind or geothermal energy in their homes. It would give a 40 percent rebate on the costs of installing wind or solar energy, the release says.

Thought this was interesting since environmental issues often come with a liberal tag.
