With Donald Trump returning to the White House, US Energy policy is expected to change.
What does the future hold for increased efforts in Louisiana to tap into the growing alternative fuel industry, like wind and solar; and what's ahead for oil and gas?
"There's a few kind of big, kind of big questions marks out there," said Professor Greg Upton, the director of LSU's Center for Energy Studies.
Upton says the Inflation Reduction Act set up a lot of subsidies for green energy.
"Subsidies for carbon capture and sequestration or CCS, subsidies for hydrogen and wind and solar," he said.
It remains to be seen if these will continue.
Then there is the matter of drilling on federal lands and waters.
"Some people on the political right have critiqued the Biden administration for not moving forward with offshore oil and gas leasing," said Upton, something Trump vowed repeatedly during the campaign to speed up.
