Dive Brief:
Oklahoma’s Attorney General Gentner Drummond on Tuesday filed a petition to block an aluminum smelter from being built at the Port of Inola, citing environmental and public nuisance concerns.
The complaint, filed in the Rogers County District Court, targets Emirates Global Aluminum and Century Aluminum, which seek to construct a primary aluminum production complex with a capacity of 750,000-plus metric tons per year — making it the largest smelter in the United States and the first one built since 1980.
The $4 billion project has received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal and state grants and incentives, and was first announced in May 2025.
