I've read that it could eventually expand to up to a 5 GW facility
With no losses that is a bout 410 mmscfd of natural gas. In reality this facility will require about a half a billion cubic feed of natural gas a day to run this facility. That's a 24" pipeline feeding a turbines at about 1200 psig.

This is a feature, not a bug.

The water table in NOLA is 2.5 feet and most is below sea level. Manhattan is solid rock and has subways and high rises. New Orleans is surrounded by water and swamp. There was never enough room, environment, or infrastructure to grow. The corruption in the top three cities, NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles are as bad or worse and have been for 100 years. It was not corrupt politics that did NOLA in.
I remember as a kid around 1980 asking my dad why all the O&G companies are moving to Houston. Sure they have all their refineries and chemical plants up and down the Mississippi River from NOLA to BR but they are now mostly headquartered in Houston. At the time there was a general feeling that some of the majors wanted to make it work in NOLA but the corruption was too much of hurdle when Houston was so easy.

Two big things stick out to me that explain the decline of New Orleans
1 - the city/state did not do enough to capitalize on the geographic position at the onset of globalization. New Orleans was the Gateway to the Americas up until the 60s/70s but by that time other cities had invested heavily into ports and the industrial networks that make a lot of money. Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa, and Miami all surpassed New Orleans over the last 60 or so years. That is high order malpractice by political and business leaders given the geography of Louisiana.
2 - Compare what Texas did with oil money, especially in the 70s. While Louisiana partied, Texas partied but also invested - particularly in higher ed. That has paid off for Texas. Louisiana instead thought tourism would save the city after the oil bust - that is Edwin Edwards lasting legacy.
Edwards and NOLA politicians required steep campaign contributions for O&G companies to do business in NOLA. The O&G companies kindly said frick you and moved to Houston where they could do business with people of higher moral character. It was a really easy decision.

Why should Landry give a shite about NOLA? The people that live in New Orleans do not want a safe and beautiful city. They have no pride. It starts from the bottom. Most everyone litters. Very little volunteerism to make the city better. Crime is rampant. Homeless everywhere. People pissing and shitting on Canal Street. Corruption is through the roof.
It's a disgusting place right now.

That comment in the OP is from Sundace over at The Conservative Treehouse. He hates this fight right now but he sees it morphing into the same GOP actors that broke up the Tea Party. He see it as a similar play against MAGA.

We are close to that part of the storyline where someone tells me that MAGA voters will not vote if they are continually attacked and labeled by these nasty characters. And that will lead to Democrats gaining power and attacking Trump again.....

Call this a CT all you want but this comment is spot on:

I figured out why Nick said that he admires Stalin in the Tucker interview which Tucker never gave Nick a chance to explain. Stalin and Trotsky were huge rivals. Stalin won and Trotsky exiled to Mexico. Trotsky's decedents and political adherents ended up in New York City and they were the originators of Neo-conservative movement. The main ideology being constant international revolution, i.e., interventionism. Nick's comment about Stalin was a direct troll on neocons.

I wish Ben was more of a reasonable person. His views are cultish. He wants you to be loyal to his cause without any question. In his view if you don't adore his cause via taxes America will fail. He just needs to chill a little and fight against leftists instead of fighting against people that agree with him 90% of the time.

I have no problem with this use of protective tariffs.
Internally the tariff push is coming from the Department of War. They are worried about the domestic steel, aluminum and copper industries going bankrupt. They do not want to rely on China for material to make ships, tanks, planes and munitions as we have to potentially fight China in a war, directly or by proxy. The tariff issue is mostly a national security play. It is not a government revenue play albeit that's the sales pitch.

I was expecting Candace to blame the parties you mention in the apparent supporting video but she didn't. The video did not support your assertion a all. She did talk about a private Egyptian military plane that would track TPUSA events for the last three years.

Yes. But SFP would say Obama didn't spy on Rosen, it was Obama's DOJ.

2) Did President Obama spy on Donald Trump?
Yes. SFP would offer the same explanation as above but Obama is actually more implicated directly to this spying operation based on PDB leaks.

Yes. But SFP would argue for the 0.1% that is not closed.
