Louisiana Economic Development

#CERAWeek continues and it just keeps getting better. It was truly an honor to be alongside the Premier of Alberta Danielle Smith, Dow CEO Jim Fitterling and S&P Global Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin to discuss the ever-evolving energy industry and to showcase Louisiana's exceptional developments in the energy, innovation and AI space. With my conference attendee hat on, I was able to hear from U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum. His insights on leveraging the country's vast assets to lead in energy and technology were invaluable. Following a full afternoon with key meetings and interviews, the day concluded with a reception hosted by the Louisiana Future Energy team. It was a perfect moment to extend our renowned southern hospitality to both new and long-term partners and celebrate Louisiana's position as America's new energy headquarters. This week has been nothing short of amazing and the perfect opportunity for Louisiana to tell our energy story. I am beyond grateful to our team, partners and everyone who contributed to making this week a success. #OpportunityLA
