Two great morning sessions at #ASSA organized by IAEE United States Association for Energy Economics. One more starting at 2:30. aeaweb.org/conference/202…

Great meeting you Soran Mohtadi and learning about your research!

LSU Energy Institute Exec. Director Greg Upton testifies before La. House Natural Resources and Environment Committee. #carboncapture #energy LSU Research theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…

Great time at #CERAWeek! LSU Energy Institute

Great seeing Karr at #CERAWeek to discuss planning for 2025 USAEE in Fort Worth and 2026 IAEE IN #Nola.

Industrial decarbonization is both a major opportunity and challenge for our region. Balancing low-carbon, cost-competitive products with global demand shapes where companies invest. Exciting work happening at LSU.

Industrial decarbonization is both an opportunity and a risk for Louisiana. CCS is one tool to reduce emissions, but communities have questions. Well done reporting by Rob Laperle at KALB News Channel 5. kalb.com/video/2025/03/…

Proud to see Center for Energy Studies at LSU partnering with Idaho National Lab on studying advanced nuclear's role in industrial decarbonization. This collaboration is a meaningful step toward research that impacts the Gulf Coast and beyond. Big things ahead for Louisiana’s energy future.

I’m quoted in this morning’s The Wall Street Journal story on Meta's planned $10B data center in Richland Parish, LA — and what it means for energy infrastructure. Louisiana Economic Development Sec. Bourgeois also weighs in on the state’s role in large-scale projects. 📎 on.wsj.com/3VnHn1G Center for Energy Studies at LSU

Was quoted in The Advocate on how new tariffs may impact Louisiana’s energy & petrochemical sectors. Uncertainty like this affects global investment decisions—many made far beyond our borders. 🔗 theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne… @LSUEnergyStudies will be watching closely.

This morning on WWL Radio with Tommy Tucker, I discussed “reciprocal tariffs” and LSU Energy Institute's analysis of the chart shared in last week’s press conference. Universities provide neutral, fact-based research—even when the topic is politically charged. audacy.com/podcast/wwl-fi…

Today is the deadline to submit papers for IAEE at ASSA.

Always a thoughtful discussion with Tommy Tucker.

Spoke with @CaleighWells on Marketplace about the future of coal. Two big drivers of its decline: inexpensive natural gas and state-level decarbonization goals. Appreciate the chance to share insights. 🎧marketplace.org/story/2025/04/…

Ready to power your energy knowledge? Join us this summer for Energy Fundamentals, a week-long course that unpacks the building blocks of today’s energy system. Early bird registration ends this Friday, register and check out our speakers and agenda here: lnkd.in/gQt8rmxZ

Where does energy begin? In the Molecules section of Energy Fundamentals, we trace the raw materials behind energy—fossil fuels, lithium for batteries, rare earths in wind turbines, and more. The video below introduces us to the materials that build our energy landscape.

Generation to power grid to you- in Electrons, we explore how energy becomes electricity. You’ll learn how power gets priced, how grids stay balanced, and what makes energy markets tick. Watch this video where the Center’s Andrew Owens tells you how we'll see electrons in action.

Excited for Energy Fundamentals this summer!

Last day for early bird registration for the June 23–27 course! Find more info and register here: lsu.edu/ces/events/ene…
