The Republican Gov. Jeff Landry Administration has taken a sensible approach to carbon capture and sequestration, prompting criticism from special interests.
The Department of Conservation and Energy, renamed for the second time in fewer than two years, launched an initiative that culminated in an executive order by Landry. This order creates a chokepoint for entities engaging in the CCS practice.
The initiative began in the opening days of Landry's term, when the federal government awarded the state the ability to regulate the practice, rather than the federal government.
Profiteering special interests are squawking about it.
