Governors Landry and Sununu Announce the Governors' Coalition for Energy Choice

From: Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry
September 17, 2024

BATON ROUGE, LA - Addressing one of the fastest-growing strains on family finances, Governor Jeff Landry (LA) and Governor Chris Sununu (NH) have formed a new organization to help Americans tackle the high costs of energy and accelerating energy cost inflation. The Governors' Coalition for Energy Choice will help state leaders formulate smart energy policies that will benefit working families, businesses, and our communities. Governors Landry and Sununu are joined by eight of their colleagues: Governor Kemp (GA), Governor Lee (TN), Governor Holcomb (IN), Governor Gordon (WY), Governor Huckabee Sanders (AR), Governor Noem (SD), Governor Stitt (OK), Governor Youngkin (VA).
“Everyone wants reliable energy, whether that be electricity, heating and cooling, and transportation. One thing is clear—states that enhance energy choice also enjoy lower energy costs, increase reliability, and attract businesses and employment opportunities,” Gov. Landry said. “As Governor of a major energy producing state, I know that it is important to sustain those trends for the benefit of residents and businesses. I look forward to working with my fellow governors in the Governors’ Coalition for Energy Choice.”
“High energy costs driven by government regulation are crushing middle income families already burdened by inflation. These families deserve affordable and reliable energy,” Gov. Sununu said. “Here in New Hampshire, we have kept energy prices in line by embracing fuel choice and minimizing expensive mandates.  I am excited to take what we have learned to help other states across the country.”
The two Governors have reached out to over 24 fellow Governors total across the country to invite them to join this effort. The goals of the organization are to ensure continued energy choice, minimize permitting and other regulatory barriers, limit expensive energy mandates, focus on affordability and reliability of energy infrastructure, and coordinate to positively manage energy resources and the environment.
At a time when every family in America is feeling the impacts of inflation, it is imperative for state leaders to ensure energy policies are focused on affordability, reliability, and good stewardship. That is how the best-performing states foster economic opportunity and improve the lives of their citizens. The Governors’ Coalition for Energy Choice will actively work with states to ensure energy policies are done right.
