President-elect Donald Trump has named his pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is seen as pro-energy business, and has been an outspoken critic of the EPA — even filing lawsuits against the government agency.

Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Joe Wertz (@joewertz), reporter at StateImpact Oklahoma, about Pruitt’s views on the environment, what he has done as attorney general and how Oklahomans feel about him.

Joe was a founding reporter for StateImpact Oklahoma (2011-2019) covering the intersection of economic policy, energy and environment, and the residents of the state.
