ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (October 18, 20204) – Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday issued a proclamation urging the Biden/Harris administration to “withdraw unlawful and senseless rules and regulations not authorized by Congress” that he said are leading to higher energy costs for Louisianans.
In Proclamation 68, Gov. Landry also announced that Louisiana “opposes efforts to limit, delay, or ban the approval of new and existing liquified natural gas export facilities in Louisiana” and across America. Landry, while endorsing an “all of the above” national energy strategy, also urged the Biden/Harris administration to “remove barriers to the production of natural gas.”
The following statement by Cameron Sholty, director of government relations at The Heartland Institute, may be used for attribution.
“Louisiana has all the pieces of the puzzle to be an economic power house and this move by Governor Landry sets the stage for a Louisiana Renaissance,” Sholty said.
“Affordable, reliable, clean energy is the most important input for economic growth from which prosperity flows. We hope the legislature in 2025 follows suit and capitalizes on the state’s abundant resources to bring opportunity to Pelican Staters.”
