Urge EPA to consider an "all of the above" strategy at

The winners, Madison Sewell, McCurtain School, and Landon Blackledge, Wilburton High School, will spend June 13-19 visiting historic monuments, museums, and famous government buildings as part of Oklahoma's Youth Tour delegation.
The teens earned the opportunity by competing in KEC's Youth Tour essay contest. The contest for high school juniors required teens to consider rulings by the EPA on coal-fired generation plants, and propose possible solutions for their co-op that would balance energy needs and environmental concerns without causing drastic increases in costs for rural consumers.
Todd Minshall, manager of KEC member services and coordinator of KEC's youth programs, admitted the teens faced a challenging question. "Still, they managed to propose solutions that were balanced and well-written," he said. "They definitely earned their place on this tour."
iamichi Electric Cooperative will send two local teens to Washington D.C. in June to participate in
Landon Blackledge
Madison Sewell
KEC congratulates the teens on their accomplishment and offers best wishes for the trip of a lifetime.
Madison Sewell is the daughter of Deborah Sewell. Landon Blackledge is the son of Sharla Blackledge.
