CO₂ has been going into the atmosphere for decades. Now the carbon capture industry wants to capture it, pipe it across Louisiana, and bury it under our feet. Why? Because YOUR hard-earned tax dollars will be handed to CCS companies through billions of dollars in 45Q subsidies. That’s the whole game. YOUR money could stay with you. I would say WE are taxed TOO much if the government has BILLIONS to hand to the CCS scam. Instead, they found a way to turn your tax money into their profits. Billions of dollars. For decades, this CO₂ was released into the atmosphere. Now they want taxpayers to pay for a massive new industry built around capturing it, transporting it, and burying it under our feet in Louisiana. The carbon capture lobby doesn’t want to lose those billions. That’s why they’re fighting so hard to stop me and trying to buy Julia Letlow this Senate seat to represent CCS. My first bill in the U.S. Senate will repeal 45Q. No more taxpayer-funded giveaways. No more corporate welfare. When the taxpayer money stops, the carbon capture gravy train stops. #LouisianaFirst #Repeal45Q

I never thought I’d have to send this message. A person’s character is revealed not just by what they say, but by what they choose to bring into the public arena. There are lines that simply shouldn’t be crossed, and invoking the loss of a spouse for political purposes is one of them. Luke and I were friends up until the day he passed. John Fleming should be ashamed.
