- Environmental groups worry proposed rule could chill debate before Louisiana’s utility regulators
The Louisiana Public Service Commission is considering a rule requiring groups seeking to intervene in utility regulatory proceedings to disclose out-of-state funding sources. Environmental groups and some commissioners, including Davante Lewis, argue the rule could suppress debate, while proponents claim it aims to prevent foreign interference and ensure energy dominance. The proposal follows a report by The Pelican Institute alleging Louisiana-based advocacy groups receive out-of-state funds linked to anti-fossil fuel agendas.
