After today’s Supreme Court arguments in Chevron v. Plaquemines Parish, GLAC is calling for an end to coastal lawsuit abuse.

For more than a decade, these lawsuits have driven down energy production, cost Louisiana workers billions in lost wages, and weakened our economy, all while failing to deliver real coastal solutions.

Today matters.

On January 12, the U.S. Supreme Court reviews the coastal lawsuits that threaten Louisiana’s energy jobs, investment, and economic future. These cases are not about restoring the coast. They are about whether lawsuits can be used to punish federally permitted work from decades ago.

Louisiana families need certainty, paychecks, and opportunity. Not more lawsuits.

The U.S. Supreme Court has set January 12 to review a case that could have major implications for energy policy nationwide.

At issue is whether Louisiana’s coastal lawsuits belong in federal court, where cases involving federally directed activity are meant to be heard.

The decision could determine whether states may impose retroactive penalties on energy activities that were permitted and encouraged by the federal government decades ago.

When cases carry national consequences, venue matters.

Coastal lawsuits have been treated as local disputes, but they’re not.

If state courts are allowed to set national policy through one-off verdicts, the precedent won’t stop with energy. Agriculture, technology, manufacturing, and more could be next.

One jury in one parish should not decide the future of projects that power the entire country.

Louisiana’s energy industry has long been our state’s strongest economic engine. Now, it’s being targeted by a growing wave of lawsuits that risk driving investment and jobs elsewhere.

In a recent guest column, James K. Glassman lays out how these cases threaten Louisiana’s business climate, discourage private-sector growth, and send the wrong message to companies considering long-term investment in our state.

With the U.S. Supreme Court set to weigh in on whether these lawsuits belong in federal court, the stakes extend far beyond one parish or one verdict.

Coastal lawsuits aren’t just legal technicalities. The stakes are substantial.

The issue is not about coastal restoration. It’s whether local courts can be used to reshape national energy policy through one-off verdicts.

When lawsuits carry nationwide consequences, they belong in federal court, where the full economic and national impact can be considered.

Louisiana energy made it possible for Stacie Augustine to build a career without leaving home.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Stacie now works as a Quality Assurance Lab Technician for ExxonMobil, testing the finished products that keep our energy system running safely and reliably. The science and problem-solving skills she learned in school became the foundation for a career that allows her to stay close to her family and give back to the community that raised her.

Stacie’s story proves that the energy industry offers real careers, real stability, and real opportunity for the next generation of Louisiana workers.
