Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy says he’ll be bringing together former high-ranking Trump administration officials and some of the most prominent U.S. energy industry leaders in a summit next month.
The Louisiana Energy Security Summit, planned for Oct. 16 in Baton Rouge, could detail the specifics of the “all-of-the-above” energy agenda Republicans and former President Donald Trump will look to push if they win big in November.
Mark Menezes, former deputy secretary at the Department of Energy, and Neil Chatterjee, former chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, are among the ex-Trump officials attending the event.
They, along with Cassidy, will likely highlight proposals to slash permitting roadblocks affecting energy projects across the U.S.
