Rep. Ken Luttrell-Ponca City
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Ken Luttrell, R-Ponca City, was recently elected to serve as the chairman of the Center for Legislative Energy and Environmental Research (CLEER).
The election came at the Energy Council’s annual Global Energy and Environmental Issues Conference held in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“It’s an exciting time to be part of the Center for Legislative Energy and Environmental Research as CLEER turns 35,” Luttrell said. “The Energy Council’s membership includes a growing number of organizations, and the CLEER Board provides valuable input to the Council’s legislators on energy and environmental policy matters.”
The purpose of CLEER is to support the Energy Council, bring research and publications on energy policy issues to the Council’s attention, and sponsor forums and other opportunities for dialogue on energy and related environmental issues. CLEER’s support addresses energy and environmental questions. It consists of Legislative leaders from our national energy-producing states and three Canadian provinces.
In the fiscal year 2024-25, the Energy Council will meet three times to consider local, national and international concerns. Members of the CLEER University Advisory Board (UAB) will present seminars at the conferences. Experts will discuss the impact of natural disasters on energy production, the energy-water nexus, carbon sequestration and energy considerations for sustaining economic growth.
Luttrell is excited to chair CLEER’s Board of Directors and looks forward to an informative year with CLEER and the Energy Council.
Luttrell’s energy-producing House district, which includes parts of Kay and Osage counties, has oil and natural gas exploration and development, wind and coal power generation and Oklahoma’s largest refinery, the Phillips 66 refinery in Ponca City.
In the Oklahoma House of Representatives, Luttrell serves as chair of the Appropriations & Budget Subcommittee for Select Agencies and also as a member of the Energy & Natural Resources Committee.
