The “Road to Prosperity” tour goes to Louisiana.


Hello John,

‌

When I stood on a rig off the coast of Louisiana, dolphins swam in the
distance and fishermen cast their lines nearby. The people who work these rigs
love this land — it’s their home and their livelihood.


That’s why it’s so frustrating to see bureaucrats in Washington claim that
their rules and regulations protect the environment.


Because here’s the reality: Red tape not only drives up your energy costs, but
also threatens the existence of the very communities that produce it.


In Louisiana, I saw a different story. Energy producers and the environment
thrive together. The men and women running these rigs live here and have every
reason to keep it clean. They fish, shrimp, and raise their families on this
coast.

‌

Some of the stories that residents told were shocking:

* One processing facility we saw had been abandoned, shuttered not because of
any environmental harm but because the permitting process had become so
time-consuming and expensive that operators said it was “not worth it.”
* Another worker told me, “When these go away, our whole town dies.” And he’s
right. When energy producers are forced to shut down, it’s not just the rigs
that suffer. It’s the marina owner, the gas station, the restaurants, and the
small businesses that depend on them. The entire local economy dries up.
We also saw something remarkable: an effort to turn old rigs into thriving
artificial reefs that attract fish, shrimp, and dolphins. The people who power
America’s energy industry are also the stewards of its natural beauty.

If we want to protect jobs and the environment, it’s time to cut the
bureaucracy and let hardworking Americans keep doing what they do best.
