A Fundamental Reset
This week on Behind The Lens, a significant development has occurred in the energy sector.
A Cameron Parish judge has ruled that state officials violated the Louisiana Constitution by issuing a permit for a liquified gas export terminal, resulting in the halt of construction on the facility.
The decision found that the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy failed to consider the environmental impacts on surrounding communities when approving the permit.
New research published in the journal Nature Sustainability reveals that renewable energy remains a small part of the oil and gas industry portfolio, contradicting prior public commitments made by fossil fuel giants.
Guests this week include reporter Elise Plunk from the Louisiana Illuminator and Emily Sanders from ExxonKnews.
