The Energy Leadership Forum brings together the oil and gas industry, the renewable energy industry, and government leaders at all levels to empower energy security for the United States.
On July 18, 2011, we organized Louisiana Energy Day, a major forum featuring top industry and government leaders, speaking on:
- Exxon Mobil’s announcement that it has made the biggest discovery in the Gulf of Mexico in more than a decade, projected to produce the equivalent of 700 million barrels of oil. The discovery will generate billions of dollars and create thousands of new jobs.
- Shell’s announcement of its multi-billion-dollar investment to develop its major Cardamom oil and gas field in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
- New oil spill response plans and technologies, including the latest from the Exxon-led response consortium.
- New energy security measures, following al-Queda’s announcement that it is targeting U.S. oil and gas infrastructure for future terrorist attacks.
- Opportunities to provide clean energy, green buildings, and energy efficiency solutions for U.S. military installations in Louisiana, responding to new federal mandates.
- Smart Grid developments for Louisiana.
- New Louisiana solar energy tax credits.
- New government grants and programs for the Louisiana energy industry.
- Congressional and state legislation affecting the Louisiana energy industry.
- How the Louisiana energy industry is giving back to communities and people.
U.S. Senator David Vitter was the Keynote Speaker.
