Shell is shuttering a Louisiana refinery that employs hundreds because it wants to "invest in a core set of uniquely integrated manufacturing sites that are also strategically positioned for the transition to a low-carbon future." #lalege #lagov theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
Here's the long decline in Louisiana's mining and logging (oil and gas production included) and manufacturing (petroleum refining included) sectors #lalege #lagov ImageImage
Interesting timing here: @LouisianaGov announces CF Industries, which makes nitrogen fertilizer, plans to spend money at its Donaldsonville site to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manufacture "carbon-free and low-carbon ammonia." #lalege #lagov Image
Shell's transition away from oil and toward renewables is pretty well-documented, as is the same strategy among other European energy giants. U.S. firms like Chevron and Exxon are doubling down on oil/gas. nytimes.com/2020/09/21/bus… #lalege #lagov

House Speaker Clay Schexnayder has commissioned a poll he sent to Republican members on covid issues, including a mask mandate (76% yes, 17% no) and whether voters support the petition to end restrictions (61% no, 22% yes, 17% undecided) scribd.com/document/47004… #lalege #lagov
Don't know if this is live caller or IVR, the poll doesn't say. It's Remington, which usually does a combo. Sample size is huge, 3,600. #lalege #lagov
This is the latest effort by Schexnayder to halt the effort by the House's more conservative members to end all of the state's coronavirus restrictions, which come as the state is seeing spikes in hospitalizations and cases #lalege #lagov

.@Louisiana_sos in a state senate hearing says universal vote by mail has "massive vulnerabilities for fraud" and won't come to Louisiana under his watch. In fact, the risk for fraud with vote by mail is extremely low. #lalege #lagov
@Louisiana_sos When Ardoin pushed to delay the elections last month, he said it would be "pretty impossible" to expand mail-in voting to everyone within two months. Now he cites fraud. (in the meantime Trump has come out against it, claiming fraud) #lalege #lagov
@Louisiana_sos Ardoin says the vote-by-mail expansion for the primary is broader than he would like, because @LouisianaGov requested more people qualify for absentee ballots. He negotiated the plan with the governor. #lalege #lagov
