THE SCIENCE & SENTIMENT BEHIND CARBON CAPTURE
LOUISIANA SPOTLIGHT
Going Underground: Carbon Capture in Louisiana
Monday 8:00pm
In Louisiana, there is passion surrounding the carbon capture debate. LPB explores questions surrounding safety, federal incentives, property rights, and the potential role of carbon capture and storage in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in this latest Louisiana Spotlight documentary.
As greenhouse gas emissions rise, Louisiana is considering carbon capture and storage as one way to reduce emissions from industrial facilities. The technology would capture carbon dioxide before it reaches the atmosphere and store it deep underground. With projects proposed across the state, legislators, industry representatives, scientists, and landowners are weighing questions about the technology’s costs, benefits, and potential unforeseen impacts.
From proposed carbon sequestration wells in Vernon Parish to the aftermath of a carbon dioxide pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi, LPB talks with the people and communities at the center of the debate.
Audiences in New Orleans can watch the program on WLAE-TV Monday at 8:00pm.

THE STATE CAPITOL LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
A TALL ORDER: THE LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL
Tuesday 8:00pm
From the architects that designed the soaring tower, to the commissioned artists who provided the sculptures, reliefs, and other adornments, this 2023 LPB documentary reveals Louisiana’s iconic state capitol building from a new perspective. The documentary explores the story of Huey P. Long’s efforts to erect the tallest capitol building in the United States, right here in Louisiana. From inspiring blueprints to the great memorial hall, to the friezes soaring high above Baton Rouge and the Mississippi River, the film shares the stories behind the art as well as the stories told by the art.
LA64: ST LANDRY PARISH
Monday 9:00pm
St. Landry Parish reflects Louisiana’s cultural heart through its towns and living traditions. Traveling the Cajun Prairie Byway, the episode visits historic Washington, Cajun weavers in Arnaudville, and a Saturday morning music gathering in Eunice. Together, these stops highlight a parish where music, craftsmanship, and community continue to shape everyday life.
Hosted by Louisiana native Karen LeBlanc, LA64 takes viewers beyond the familiar, uncovering hidden gems, local traditions, remarkable architecture, and the cultural threads that connect every corner of the state.
LOUISIANA: THE STATE WE'RE IN
Friday 7:00pm | Saturday 4:30pm | Sunday 5:00pm
A new U.S. Census Bureau analysis puts Louisiana at the top of the nation for poverty, with a 19.6% three-year average official poverty rate from 2023 through 2025—nearly twice the national rate of 10.7%. The numbers raise questions about the underlying factors driving poverty in Louisiana, from wages and workforce participation to education and access to opportunity.
Bogue Chitto State Park is becoming a destination for mountain bikers looking to hit the trails and explore Louisiana on two wheels. A new festival brought in riders from around the country who wanted to connect with nature and discover a different side of the state.
