Bill > SCR6

This concurrent resolution expresses the full and unequivocal support of the Louisiana Legislature for the development, construction, and long-term operation of a liquid natural gas (LNG) export facility at Port Fourchon, located within the Greater Lafourche Port Commission. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled down to a liquid state for easier transportation. The resolution highlights Louisiana's leading role in natural gas production and exports, and Port Fourchon's critical infrastructure and expertise, making it an ideal location for such a facility. It specifically mentions a proposal by Argent LNG, which is currently undergoing review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), a U.S. government agency that regulates interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil. This project is described as a significant private investment with the potential to create numerous jobs and generate substantial economic activity, utilizing advanced American technologies and incorporating a "Louisiana First" policy to prioritize local businesses and workforce. The resolution also emphasizes that exporting LNG to countries with shared values will strengthen international alliances and promote global energy security.
