Oklahoma is actually doing some really interesting stuff. They've greenlit and are building a new refinery that will be powered entirely by renewable energy [1]. Now, you might be tempted to say "how can a refinery be 'green'?". After all, it's still producing refined petroleum products. Thing is, we're already producing those and new refineries are much greener than old refineries [2]. Limited refining capacity is a big contributor to, for example, high gas prices in the last few years. The US hasn't built a significant refinery in decades and we're losing capacity as existing refineries are repuprosed or shuttered completely. We still need refined petroleum products and will do for some time to come. Anyway, other comments seem to complain the cars aren't really made in Oklahoma. But there's a factory in Pryor, OK. Car parts for any car factory are sourced from all over the place. "Made in X" is a fairly nebulous concept with global commodities and manufacturing.
