I don’t get the negativity about this project. It’s like,” I don’t understand it so I’m against it.” These plants aren’t paper mills or chemical plants that produce a lot of pollution. I’m not sure what they discharge other than evaporation. Maybe somebody can enlighten me.

They will consume a lot of water. Wells a re being drilled to provide the water. I have not heard how much water the plant will consume but if it’s as suggested a really big plant maybe 5 million gallons a day. Well by comparison a paper mill that would employ 1000 people would consume 20-30 million gallons a day. Paper mills and chemical plants have significant air and waste water discharges that I don’t see with a data generating facility. It’s really hard to accept all the negativity surrounding these plants.

Louisiana needs New Orleans and New Orleans needs Louisiana. Stop the squabbling. New Orleans listen to Jim Croce. You don't pull on Superman's Cape, you don't spit in the wind and you don't mess around trying to indict the state AG or piss off the governor. Dumb. You may may not have his politics but he can surely help you if you show a little respect.

Governor I think you have shown good restraint dealing with New Orleans. It can get better. Keep demanding fiscal responsibility and sticking to real public service deliverables. No sanctuary city BS, no woke crap just pave the streets, enforce the laws, lock up the bad guys and fix the SWB. It's just that simple..

You are a fool to risk your financial security and not have health insurance. Get an HSA plan with the highest deductible allowed and contribute the max you can every year. Invest the money for long term growth and never use the money until you absolutely have to. The money is triple tax advantaged and if you die it goes into o your estate as an IrA would..

At retirement age you can take the money as an IRA by paying the taxes as ordinary income. If for medical it is tax free. At retirement age you will need the money for medical expenses. Medical insurance is cheap if you have a catastrophic event that cannot be predicted regardless of what you think your current health status might be..

Iran is about out of options. They aren't going to have any chips left. This is how it should be. Unconditional surrender is all we should even talk about..

I can't fix it. LSU fired the DEI group. Saved $3.7 M. Tate hires

Tate was a disaster. JBE was going to ruin this state.

Glad soccer is over. Just a big distraction. Let’s get this Iran deal done and Cuba next. Get the Save America Act passed, oil prices in the 60’s and let the economy run.

Yesterday it was Centreville, MS and now
Hilton Head, SC. Worlds apart, same story, same suspects.

Some perspective is in order here. The data plants should be located close to a water source. Water source cooling will significantly lower energy costs as water cooled equipment is much more efficient vs air cooled (closed loop) equipment..

The MS River flow at Natchez, MS is approximately 300,000,000 million gallons PER SECOND. So in one second the flow of the MS River could supply 60 of the biggest 5MGD data centers for a full day. One second. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. These naysayer arguments remind me of climate change proponent sky screaming.


If a data center that needs that much water chooses to build in an arid area then thy will be out of business due to inefficiency and inability to operate at full capacity. I suspect the people designing these plants know what they are doing and won't make that kind of mistake.

Agree nuclear is the key to energy independence and lowest possible cost. Burning natural gas or oil to make electricity isn't the highest and best use of the resource. Of course growing corn to make ethanol isn't the highest and best use of corn either. If we can stop pandering to special interests we can be a greater union. Meanwhile give us all the data centers we can handle. Place them on the east side of the MS River in LA and MS in areas not ideal for agriculture. It can't be that hard to find these spots,

These guys should attend an LSU football tailgate party in September or early October. No way Philly is hotter than that. A 2:30 kickoff is worse yet.

TN did win by getting rid of her but paying a $95K a year “professor” $2M is malfeasance. Reassign her to the janitorial section and have her clean bathrooms or something. These colleges don’t spent the money like it belongs to them. It’s free money to them and they take the easy way out by raising tuition and begging donors. They’ll just raise football tickets $20.

I bet Tony Vitello would have liked an extra $2M budget to buy players. Of course he’s gone now but just saying.
