Thanksgiving is one America's most beloved holidays. But very few of the traditions we’ve come to know and love would be possible without the energy industry. There are countless reasons to be thankful for Louisiana's oil and natural gas industry this Thanksgiving! As you celebrate this year with family and friends, consider the ways oil and gas help fuel this special day:

1. People travel to family gatherings in cars and planes that use petroleum-based fuel.
2. Turkeys are kept fresh in appliances powered by the energy industry.
3. Thanksgiving feasts are prepared in ovens and on stove tops powered by natural gas.
4. Thanksgiving staples, such as cranberries, are gown and harvested using fertilizer made from natural gas.
5. Thanksgiving parades feature polyurethane floats made from the energy industry.

Happy Thanksgiving from LMOGA!
