The project promised millions of dollars in local tax revenue and represented a growing investment in renewable energy across Louisiana.
Nolan explains how misinformation shaped public opinion, why the project became a flashpoint in Iberia Parish, and what its collapse reveals about the challenges facing Louisiana’s clean energy future.
Join us for an in-depth conversation about renewable energy, public trust and the real-world consequences of misinformation.
