WHY WE ARE WASTING THIS MOMENT?

The Strait of Hormuz is closed. 20% of the world’s oil supply is cut off. Global LNG prices are up 140%. U.S. LNG exports just hit near-record levels. Louisiana exports 61% of all U.S. LNG.

This is Louisiana’s moment.

So why are they burying the ground instead of drilling it?

Right now, Europe and Asia are desperate for U.S. natural gas. They’re paying premium prices.
Louisiana has the Haynesville Shale. The Gulf infrastructure. The ports. The workforce.

The global market is screaming: SEND US YOUR GAS.

Louisiana’s response: we’re filling the ground with CO₂ waste instead.

Here’s the scam you need to understand. They’re calling Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) an “energy” project. It is NOT.

CCS is a waste disposal operation. Corporations capture CO₂ from their smokestacks and bury it permanently under Louisiana land.

No energy produced. No oil extracted. Just waste — buried forever.

CO₂ used in oil drilling (Enhanced Oil Recovery) = CO₂ as a tool to produce MORE oil. Louisiana has done this for decades. It creates real value.

CCS geological sequestration = burying CO₂ as industrial waste. Permanently. No oil. No gas. No energy. No value.

They are NOT the same thing. They are opposites.

So why is Louisiana doing it?
Federal 45Q tax credits pay corporations $85/ton to bury CO₂ permanently underground.
Louisiana has 17+ qualifying CCS projects. Potential payout: $3.5 BILLION per year.

There is no market for the buried carbon. The money comes entirely from your federal tax dollars. Take away the tax subsidies and CCS folds like a cheap lawn chair.

Think about that.

While the Hormuz crisis creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Louisiana to produce and export real energy for real money, Louisiana is being turned into the world’s permanent CO₂ dump, funded by your tax dollars, for corporations collecting federal welfare.

It’s time to stop calling waste disposal "clean energy" and start focusing on being the energy powerhouse the world actually needs.

It has been brought to my attention that there is an active social media campaign being perpetrated by the powers to be, pushing the carbon sequestration agenda.

The campaigns entire existence is to discredit and slander the general public that is against carbon sequestration, blue hydrogen, blue ammonia, the associated pipelines and imminent domain private land seizures.

They are using social media to flood our groups, sites, and pages with disinformation, conspiracy theories, in an attempt to make us look like crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

I encourage you to not fall into the trap of engaging with and spreading the fake news. Report, block, bane these accounts and stay in the fight of our lives. Literally!

THE GREAT AMERICAN FLEECING: HOW 45Q TAX CREDITS TURNED YOUR TAX DOLLARS INTO CORPORATE PROFIT
By: Renee’ Savant

Let’s break this wide open.
You’ve heard of corporate welfare, but have you heard of 45Q?
It’s a federal tax credit — passed quietly, expanded repeatedly — that’s now funneling billions of YOUR tax dollars into the pockets of Big Oil, Wall Street speculators, and foreign-owned carbon storage firms. All under the feel-good label of “carbon capture.”
Here’s how the scam works:
⸻
STEP 1: Manufacture a “Climate Crisis Solution”
The fossil fuel industry cooked up an idea — trap carbon before it hits the air, pipe it underground, and claim it’s solving climate change. Never mind that:
• The tech is wildly unproven at scale,
• Projects have already leaked,
• And most of the CO₂ goes to enhanced oil recovery (i.e. pump more oil).
But it sounds green, right?
⸻
STEP 2: Get Taxpayers to Pay for It
Enter Section 45Q — a tax credit worth up to $85–$180 per ton of CO₂ “captured.”
They promised innovation. What they delivered?
• Pipeline invasions of private land,
• Risky injection wells near water tables,
• And zero obligation to prove the CO₂ stays buried long-term.
⸻
STEP 3: Cash In, Disappear
The companies behind CCS are often LLCs, built to take your money, drill your land, and vanish.
If the project leaks? If the company folds?
You, the taxpayer, hold the bag.
This isn’t innovation — it’s legalized looting.
⸻
WHO’S PROFITING?
• Exxon. Denbury. Oxy.
• Hedge funds. Carbon traders.
• A network of lobbyists and politicians who look the other way while your money fuels this dangerous shell game.
⸻
AND LOUISIANA?
We’re the ground zero for this scam — with more Class VI CO₂ injection wells proposed than anywhere else in the country.
Why?
Because our land is cheap. Our leaders are bought. And our people are expected to stay quiet.
⸻
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
This is not climate action.
This is not economic development.
This is the greatest taxpayer heist of our generation, wrapped in a green bow.
Share this. Talk about this. Demand accountability.
If 45Q isn’t stopped, your land, your water, and your future will be sold for tax credits — and you’ll be left with the consequences.

MUST READ by EVERY Louisiana Citizen

What Happens to the CCS Story When No One Is Being Paid?

Louisianans have been told, repeatedly and confidently, that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is safe, necessary, and essential to our economic future. Much of that confidence has come from one respected source: the LSU Center for Energy Studies.

But a recent, unfunded LSU law review article quietly exposes a problem no one seems eager to address.

When CCS is analyzed without industry money, the certainty disappears.

The article, written by a graduating LSU law student and published in the LSU Journal of Energy Law & Resources, was not commissioned, sponsored, or grant-funded. It wasn’t produced for industry, the state, or an advocacy group. It was simple academic legal scholarship.

And that matters.

Because what emerges from the unpaid analysis looks very different from the polished assurances Louisianans have grown accustomed to hearing.

The law student does not claim CCS is low-risk.
She does not argue that it is inevitable.
She does not declare it essential for Louisiana’s future.

Instead, she documents unresolved groundwater concerns, long-term monitoring uncertainty, shifting liability to the state, and the steady erosion of parish authority over projects imposed from Baton Rouge.

Most revealing of all, the article never clearly answers a fundamental question:

Why must Louisiana continue hosting CCS projects if national and international climate mandates weaken or collapse?

That question hangs unanswered—because there is no obvious answer.

Contrast that with the tone coming from publicly funded and industry-adjacent commentary, including voices associated with the LSU Center for Energy Studies and figures such as Dr. Greg Upton. In those discussions, CCS is framed as economically inevitable, scientifically settled, and environmentally manageable. Risk is minimized. Opposition is often treated as misunderstanding or fear.

What is rarely addressed with the same confidence is who pays when something goes wrong decades from now, what happens when tax credits expire, or why Louisiana should permanently assume subsurface and water risk for carbon dioxide generated in other states.

One justification that still surfaces—sometimes explicitly, sometimes by implication- is that CCS is necessary to keep Louisiana competitive with Europe.

But that argument no longer holds up.

The United States is not bound by European climate enforcement mechanisms. The EU’s carbon border rules do **not** require Louisiana-hosted sequestration. No trade agreement obligates this state to serve as a long-term carbon repository for international markets. Much of the CCS justification still rests on Paris Agreement–era assumptions that may not survive the next political cycle.

If those assumptions disappear, what remains?

What remains is this: Louisiana communities are being asked to accept permanent subsurface risk, long-term liability, and loss of local control—often with little direct benefit—based on policies and incentives that are far from permanent.

This is not an accusation against LSU or its researchers. Universities play a vital role in policy discussion. But incentives matter. Funding shapes framing. And when the money leaves the room, the tone changes.

Unpaid scholarship doesn’t cheerlead. It documents. It hedges. It acknowledges uncertainty. And in this case, it quietly reveals that CCS is far less settled than Louisianans have been led to believe.

🌍 Carbon Capture Goes Global — And Louisiana’s Leaders Sell Us Out

Across Europe and Asia, CCS is scaling fast with massive hubs, shared pipelines, and billions in government investment. While the world celebrates “innovation,” Louisiana’s reality is far different.

On September 15th, eight members of the Vernon Parish Police Jury voted to support CCS projects, opening the door for industry while leaving residents with more questions than answers. Instead of defending parish landowners and aquifers, they sided with industry promises.

And where is state leadership? Nowhere to be found. The Office of Conservation already proved this on September 9th, when they held a hidden hearing in Baton Rouge without public notice, undermining trust and transparency at every turn. Meanwhile, Louisiana is being branded a “CCS hub” — not because of smart planning, but because our leaders are willing to gamble with our land and water.

✅ Who guarantees our aquifers won’t be poisoned?
✅ Who defends landowners from eminent domain?
✅ Who ensures safety comes before corporate tax credits?

And let’s be clear: the ultimate responsibility sits with Governor Jeff Landry. He has a duty to ensure that the one water source feeding 15 parishes has zero chance of contamination. Anything less is a betrayal of the people he serves.

Dustin Davidson, as the new head of the Department of Natural Resources, must also understand his role. It is not to shield corporations or stage backroom deals — it is to notify and protect the people of Louisiana.

We will never accept another hidden hearing in Baton Rouge, such as the one held on September 9th at the Office of Conservation. Our communities deserve transparency. They deserve honesty. They deserve leaders who put land, water, and people above profit.

Louisiana can move forward — but not by sacrificing its people in the process. The people deserve better.

👉 Read the global CCS article here, then ask yourself: if the world is building CCS with safeguards, why is Louisiana moving recklessly without them?

IMPORTANT!
These projects are driven by federal subsidies, not market demand.
In Louisiana, “blue hydrogen” — made from natural gas — produces massive CO₂ emissions. That CO₂ has to go somewhere, and that’s where Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) comes in. Inject the CO₂ underground, and corporations can claim the lucrative 45Q tax credit, worth up to $85 per metric ton stored. Over a decade, that’s billions in guaranteed payouts from U.S. taxpayers.
These aren’t industries built to last. They’re subsidy pipelines:
Profits flow out of Louisiana to multinational corporations.
Environmental liability stays here, buried in our land and under our waterways.
