Did you know the oil and gas industry ships gas in pipelines across Louisiana, liquifies it at ports in our communities, and then exports it internationally? None of the gas produced here in Louisiana is even for us.

It’s all for export overseas, where energy companies charge more for gas than they can here at home. Meanwhile, our energy bills continue to go up every month. The more the industry exports, the bigger the mess they leave behind. Now, they want to build even more gas export terminals in Southwest Louisiana.

We won’t be fooled. Their plans don’t mean lower energy bills or community benefits for us here in Southwest Louisiana. They mean higher energy costs, coastal devastation, decreased home values, and more severe floods and natural disasters for SWLA families. All so we can export gas to other countries.
