House Bill No. by Representative Jacob Landry aims to establish a state policy in Louisiana regarding affordable, reliable, and clean energy solutions. The bill enacts Chapter 17 of Subtitle I of Title 30 of the Revised Statutes of 1950, specifically R.S. 30:1501, which outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Energy and Natural Resources in collaboration with the Public Service Commission. The focus is on prioritizing energy security by ensuring that fuel sources are primarily domestically produced and minimizing reliance on foreign nations for critical materials. The bill defines "affordable energy sources" as those that are stable, cost-effective, and readily available, while also including energy generated by hydrocarbons.

Additionally, the bill sets criteria for "reliable energy sources," which must be available to meet customer demands consistently and include energy generated by hydrocarbons. It also redefines "green energy" to encompass energy resources that meet specific emissions standards, including those generated by nuclear reactors and natural gas. The definitions provided in the bill will apply to all state programs that fund green or clean energy initiatives, thereby reinforcing the state's commitment to energy security and sustainability.
