OK HR1039

Declares legislative opposition to EPA's proposed Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) requiring installation of "dry scrubbers" on coal units to address regional haze standards.

Expresses support for Oklahoma's State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on February 19, 2010, as an alternative approach to addressing regional haze.

Calls for a comprehensive review of all alternatives to regional haze standards, including increased use of natural-gas-based generation, based on cost-benefit analysis and consumer risk assessment.

Notes that EPA's estimated $900 million capital expenditure for scrubber installation would be passed to Oklahoma consumers through electric rate increases, while modeling suggests scrubbers could cost 43-95% more than building new combined-cycle gas plants.

Directs distribution of the resolution to the Governor, Corporation Commission members, EPA Administrator, and EPA Region Six Administrator.
