Cultivating wind resources in the Gulf of Mexico |
|
|
For generations, oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico has been a leading driver of employment across South Louisiana, creating and sustaining a strong and successful middle-class economy. As the lifeblood of many Louisiana communities, the energy industry’s longstanding presence has permeated not only the region’s culture, but also educational institutions by inspiring events such as the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival while simultaneously building offerings such as LSU’s Petroleum Engineering program into one of the tops in the country.
