Let’s connect the dots. Now that you’ve seen the components of Energy Fundamentals, watch the full course introduction video to see how it all fits together.
This is the last day of early bird pricing for the June course section, register here: https://t.co/siZdt6Nuaq

Generation to power grid to you- in Electrons, we explore how energy becomes electricity. You’ll learn how power gets priced, how grids stay balanced, and what makes energy markets tick. Watch this video where the Center’s Andrew Owens tells you how we'll see electrons in action.

[Center for Energy Studies at LSU @LSU_CES]

Where does energy begin? In the Molecules section of Energy Fundamentals, we trace the raw materials behind energy—fossil fuels, lithium for batteries, rare earths in wind turbines, and more. The video below introduces us to the materials that build our energy landscape.

Ready to power your energy knowledge? Join us this summer for Energy Fundamentals, a week-long course that unpacks the building blocks of today’s energy system.
Early bird registration ends this Friday, register and check out our speakers and agenda here: https://t.co/Z7hC4Du2wr

Spoke with @CaleighWells on @Marketplace about the future of coal. Two big drivers of its decline: inexpensive natural gas and state-level decarbonization goals.

Appreciate the chance to share insights.

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Always a thoughtful discussion with @ttuckerwwl.

[Center for Energy Studies at LSU @LSU_CES]

Today on @WWLAMFM Louisiana First News with @ttuckerwwl, @gregbupton commented on trends in the Louisiana oil and gas industry and how they play into the current industry climate.

Today is the deadline to submit papers for @IA4EE at ASSA.

[IAEE @IA4EE]

We invite submissions on all topics related to energy and environmental economics at the IAEE Sessions at ASSA (January 3-5, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA).
The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2025.

This morning on @WWLAMFM with @ttuckerwwl, I discussed “reciprocal tariffs” and @LSUEnergy's analysis of the chart shared in last week’s press conference.

Universities provide neutral, fact-based research—even when the topic is politically charged.

https://t.co/T5Bwd6BGBd

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Was quoted in @theadvocatebr on how new tariffs may impact Louisiana’s energy & petrochemical sectors. Uncertainty like this affects global investment decisions—many made far beyond our borders.

@LSUEnergyStudies will be watching closely.

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

I’m quoted in this morning’s @WSJ story on @Meta's planned $10B data center in Richland Parish, LA — and what it means for energy infrastructure.

@LEDLouisiana Sec. Bourgeois also weighs in on the state’s role in large-scale projects.

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Proud to see @LSU_CES partnering with @INL on studying advanced nuclear's role in industrial decarbonization. This collaboration is a meaningful step toward research that impacts the Gulf Coast and beyond. Big things ahead for Louisiana’s energy future.

[Center for Energy Studies at LSU @LSU_CES]

Today @LSU & Idaho National Laboratory signed an MOU to explore advanced nuclear tech its role in energy transition! The MOU was signed at an @AtlanticCouncil event with @gregbupton moderating a chat on Louisiana's role as an economic engine with Stephen Swiber & Dustin Davidson.

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Industrial decarbonization is both an opportunity and a risk for Louisiana. CCS is one tool to reduce emissions, but communities have questions. Well done reporting by @RobLaperle at @KALBtv5.

https://t.co/yEhVUsDMlQ

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Industrial decarbonization is both a major opportunity and challenge for our region. Balancing low-carbon, cost-competitive products with global demand shapes where companies invest. Exciting work happening at @LSU.

[GrowLACoalition @GrowLACoalition]

The world is watching Louisiana lead the energy future—and with @exxonmobil’s leadership and investment, we're positioned to deliver.

Global energy companies are turning to @LSU’s PERTT Lab because there’s nowhere else in the world doing what we’re doing here in Louisiana.

This collaboration isn’t just innovative; it’s a game-changing shift for our economy, workforce, and America-first energy dominance.

Great seeing Karr at #CERAWeek to discuss planning for 2025 USAEE in Fort Worth and 2026 @IA4EE IN #Nola.

[United States Association for Energy Economics @USA4EE]

Dr. Greg Upton (@gregbupton @USA4EE President-Elect) & Karr Ingham (@TexasAllianceEP President) met up at #CERAWeek to discuss the latest in energy markets & policy. #EnergyEconomics #USAEE

[Greg Upton @gregbupton]

Great time at #CERAWeek! @LSUEnergy

[Louisiana Economic Development @LEDLouisiana]

Louisiana’s presence at #CERAWeek was nothing short of incredible!

The Louisiana Future Energy #CWAgora House served as a hub for collaboration, showcasing how our whole-of-Louisiana approach is driving economic growth.

A huge thank you to our partners who made this possible!
