The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association is hailing the Trump administration’s draft plan to hold seven lease sales off Louisiana’s Gulf coast. The plan would open more than 1.2-billion acres to oil and gas exploration. President Tommy Faucheux (FOE-shay) says the companies which will compete for the leases operate with the utmost of integrity.
Cut 4 (12) “…to get stronger.”
The five-year plan proposed by the Trump administration would replace the five-year plan enacted under the Biden administration which curtailed oil and gas exploration as part of Biden’s efforts to combat climate change. Faucheux says thanks to modern technology, it’s possible to explore for oil and gas while protecting the environment.
Cut 5 (13) “…and Louisianans safe.”
There will be a 60-day public comment period before the Department of the Interior issues its final plan.
