In this episode, we discuss Louisiana's energy infrastructure, utility accountability, and the importance of protecting citizens' rights from big energy and corporate interests. Guest John Young shares his plans and insights on how to ensure fair and reliable energy policies.   SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Habakkuk 3:17-19 TPT "Even if my fig trees do not blossom and my vines grow no grapes, if my olive crop fails and my fields produce no harvest, and even if all my sheep die and I'm left with no cattle in my barn, I still have Yahweh, and I will rejoice in him. Yes, I will dance with joy no matter what, for I have a Savior-God! Yahweh is the Lord of my strength; he makes my feet sure-footed as a deer bounding upon the high places."    ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Vote Saturday!
