2022 LA Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Gary Chambers: Supports Green New Deal as good for environment, jobs

One of Chambers' main talking points is his support of the Green New Deal, which is anathema to many people in Louisiana, who fear it will decimate the state's oil and gas industry. Chambers sees it as an opportunity to improve the state's abysmal environmental rankings--the district includes so-called Cancer Alley--and create jobs for such burgeoning industries as electric, solar and wind.

Luke Mixon: Louisiana will continue to be an oil and gas state

Fossil fuels are not going anywhere, and Louisiana will continue to be an oil and gas state. But Louisiana's location, landscape, and natural resources invite us to enter emerging energy markets that will bring good-paying jobs to our state. We will continue producing oil and gas while taking advantage of wind, solar, and other renewables, which provide residents with cost-efficient and reliable sources of energy and good-paying jobs tailored to our workforce.
