An American Town Hall: New Orleans
What do your elected officials and state leaders believe is in our country's energy future--and what's in store for Louisiana? How will their choices affect the Gulf region's importance as an importer and exporter of oil around the globe--and the United States' position in the international community? And how will the region balance economic development with environmental impacts of robust oil industry? Join The Atlantic as it poses these questions and more to your state leaders ahead of the 2014 midterm elections in November.
