Louisiana Governor Proposes 90-Day Pause on U.S. Diesel Exports
What happened
Governor Jeff Landry proposed a 90-day pause on U.S. diesel exports, arguing the move would lower fuel costs for local families, farmers, and small businesses in Louisiana. Industry experts, however, warned that Louisiana lacks sufficient pipeline capacity to store the diesel that would otherwise be exported.
