This week on Behind The Lens, a significant development has occurred in the energy sector.
- A federal judge has halted the construction of a new LNG terminal in Cameron Parish.
- The decision was made after it was found that state officials violated the Louisiana Constitution by issuing a permit without considering environmental impacts on surrounding communities.
