This is the case especially now that NIL/revenue sharing considerations are in the mix. LSU is putting all its chips on FB, MBB, WBB, Gym, and Baseball.

Thanks to Bear Bryant and his creative ways of subverting the rules no player can play football and another sport unless he is a full time scholarship football player. Not sure how that affects the TP rules...

The water that has been used is too toxic to release into the environment...
quote:
Key Concerns Regarding Cooling Tower Emissions:Drift (Contaminant Drift): While the vapor is pure, small liquid water droplets known as "drift" can be carried out of the tower by airflow. This drift can contain concentrated dissolved solids, scale inhibitors, biocide treatment chemicals, and heavy metals.
Legionella Bacteria: The warm, moist environment of cooling towers is a known breeding ground for Legionella bacteria. Proper maintenance and chemical treatment are required to prevent the release of these bacteria into the air.
Chemical Treatment Agents: To prevent scaling and corrosion, operators use chemical treatments, including biocides (like bromine (highly toxic)or chlorine dioxide) and inhibitors, which are concentrated in the remaining water and potentially released via drift.
Discharge (Blowdown): Roughly 20–30% of the water used is not evaporated but discharged as "blowdown," which is high in concentrated contaminants and can pose a risk to local water treatment facilities.
I worked 45 yrs in chem plants and it has been awhile since I have seen any statements as moronic as this. If this were remotely true we would be extinct by now. Every large building in every city in the world that is air conditioned has cooling towers for building AC.
Also anybody who has worked in such an industry where water is treated with chemicals like scale inhibitors and such is required by the EPA to be treated and analyzed before release to the environment and reported to the DEQ/EPA on a discharge monitoring report. We even had to do this for stormwater runoff on non production areas.
In the event that the water is docile enough it can be discharged to a municipal system for treatment then that is done for a fee and similar reporting requirements apply

and it will require a lot less water..
Not sure about that entirely because electricity use generates heat. Like you said though, maybe less than others.
I keep posting on these Data Centers threads that the water usage is not that high and is 99% for cooling purposes so it is not tainted for reuse or discharge. They should see what power plants have for water usage...

- It’s permitted to use 23 million gallons of water PER DAY
OMG! I used to work for a major paper mill that used twice that amount of water per day.
The other travesty is that they will only use that water for cooling purposes so it should be good to put back in the environment

i noticed in looking at Massie that he had a high Liberty score because he just voted against everything...
I think Rand is is the same boat. He voted against funding Homeland Security for 3 yrs because he objected to it not being a yearly budget. Most of the time that is a valid arguement but not with the Dems he is serving with.

He is well versed in saying things his base wants to hear but he has no authority to those things. Lot of lawyers have to get paid first.
The stupidity in this is that if they do sieze a building and give to a "responsible steward" then they probably dont have the money or the means to fix the building...

re: Jobs You Had as a Kid

Had a job from grade 8 through high school.
And you?
As a kid in elementary school and middle school I picked tomatoes (job Americans wont do) on my Aunt's farm. Picked 10500 hill every morning (@ buttcrack of dawn), cleaned, graded, and boxed for shipment by 2PM. They trucked them from West Ky to Chicago daily in the summer. I dont even remember what I got paid for that!
When I turned 16 I started working as a substitute night custodian at the local schools. One of the regulars was out for back surgery.
When I graduated HS I got a job mowing the schools for the Board of Education and I did that every summer until I graduated. I got paid once per month...$2.85/hr
CSB... once in college I went with friends to cut and spike tobacco for a Frat alum. I got paid $5/hr. Two old black men were working with us that morning and they were getting $7/hr and I wondered what made them so pricey. I found out when I was halfway down my row they met me coming back the other way! If I was worth $5 they were worth $10...
