Stop the Inola Smelter

A local Oklahoma campaign opposing a proposed aluminum smelter near Inola schools, homes, farms, and the Verdigris River.

Why it surfaced

The campaign turns a complicated industrial dispute into a compact field brief, leading with figures such as 350 acres, fewer than three miles from schools, 425 tons of projected annual fluoride emissions, and 1,000-plus megawatts of continuous power demand. Its claims are advocacy material rather than independently verified findings, but the combination of local stakes, quantified arguments, and the question “What will you tell your grandkids?” gives this site real civic texture.
