Energy projects shouldn’t take years to move forward after they’ve already been approved.

But new research from the American Council for Capital Formation shows legal challenges delay energy infrastructure projects by an average of 3.9 years, even though agencies prevail in most cases.

That means more waiting, more uncertainty, and slower progress for the infrastructure Louisiana depends on.

Louisiana’s election system is changing, and it could impact how you vote in key races this year.

With the new closed party primary system in place, your party registration now plays a bigger role in how you can participate. But many voters still don’t realize what’s changing or how it affects them.

These elections will help shape decisions tied to energy, jobs, and economic growth across our state.

Don’t wait until Election Day. Read our latest blog to understand what’s changing and how to be prepared before the May 16 primary 👉 bit.ly/4mnwKSE

When legal risk goes up, businesses often pull back.

Research cited in a new report finds litigation risk can reduce investment by 3–7%, as companies scale back spending and rely less on financing.

That can mean delayed or canceled projects—and more uncertainty for industries that Louisiana depends on.

Carbon storage is widely recognized as a key tool to increase energy production while reducing CO2 emissions and supporting cleaner air.

So here’s the question:
Why are some of the same groups pushing for lower emissions also trying to block the technology designed to do exactly that?

That doesn’t really add up.

Louisiana has a chance to have cleaner air, more jobs, and a stronger economy—all at the same time.

Why stand in the way? Read more: bit.ly/4cvgV95

Energy projects shouldn’t spend years stuck in court after they’ve already been approved.

According to new research, legal challenges delay energy infrastructure projects by an average of 3.9 years, even though agencies prevail in most cases.

That means Louisiana workers, communities, and businesses are left waiting while lawsuits drag on and progress stalls.

Enough of the waiting game. Louisiana needs jobs, growth, and projects that move forward—not endless delays driven by litigation. Take a stand for our workers: jobsnotlawsuitsla.com

Louisiana’s energy future is evolving, and communities want to understand what comes next.

A new initiative led by LSU, in partnership with Georgia Tech and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, is bringing together local leaders, scientists, and industry experts to better understand emerging energy technologies.

These new technologies will play a key role in supporting jobs, strengthening our economy, and meeting future needs as energy demand grows.

The more informed our communities are, the stronger Louisiana’s energy future will be.

Who is REALLY influencing Louisiana’s energy future?

New reporting takes a closer look at the funding behind some of the groups shaping the conversation—and the numbers tell a bigger story.

From out-of-state funding to coordinated advocacy and even taxpayer-backed lobbying, it raises an important question: Who should be deciding Louisiana’s future?

A new milestone in St. Martin Parish has confirmed what many have long believed: deeper energy resources are not only real, but now within reach thanks to modern technology.

Reaching nearly 31,000 feet below the surface, this project highlights the innovation, expertise, and opportunity driving Louisiana’s energy future.

As demand for energy continues to grow, Louisiana is positioned to play a critical role—as long as we don’t let litigation stand in the way of progress.
