AGP Executive Report

Last update: 24 minutes ago

Coastal Cleanup Deal: Gov. Jeff Landry says Louisiana has reached an agreement with ExxonMobil to resolve “coastal land disputes,” including Exxon partnering with the state to address orphan wells along the coast—an issue tied to leaks of oil, saltwater, hazardous chemicals, and methane. Climate Litigation Pushback: Louisiana lawmakers approved the “Louisiana Energy Protection Act” (HB 804), aiming to shield energy companies from future climate-change-related lawsuits while leaving existing cases intact, after last-minute amendments clarified how the law would treat older filings and certain coastal claims. Data Center Cost Concerns: A new report warns Louisiana families and businesses could be stuck with billions in added energy infrastructure costs as hyperscale data centers expand, citing opaque financing and utility arrangements. Local Research on Climate Impacts: UL Lafayette researchers studying live oak trees report carbon measurements lower than previously recorded, offering fresh insight into how rising CO2 may be changing plant chemistry over time. Drought Update: Baton Rouge-area rainfall has improved enough to remove most of the region from drought categories, though parts near the coast and north still show moderate to severe drought. Community Garden Training: LSU AgCenter’s Farm to School program will host a school gardening for sustainability training in Winnsboro to help educators keep gardens productive and tied to learning.
