I think there is virtually no chance that it passes. And if it does then I think it can/would be overturned by their legislature.

The water concern is overblown like a mofo. Industry uses a LOT of water. In Pineville area the used to be an ammonia plant and a paper mill both long gone The Red River is right there.
A paper mill uses more water than a data center. Approximately 17,000 gals per ton of paper. Georgia Gulf once used 37 million gals per day for steam, cooling and of course to make white liquor for the paper process. However their tonnage is way down since they no longer make printer paper, just tissue paper. There are several large paper mills which have shutdown in LA over the last 20 years. Nothing has replaced their water usage.
200 million gallons per day is pumped by the Sabine River authority to the chemical plants and refineries in Westlake and Carlyss LA. That is to supplement wells in various chemical plants and refineries.
True but those facilities mentioned use surface water for a majority of their cooling water. They also have extensive regulations related to their intake structures that require specific efficiencies and design to reduce the impact to aquatic life (plus requirements for impingement and entrainment studies). Every data center and proposed power plant in Louisiana that I've heard about (except for one of the Amazon Shreveport facilities potentially getting water from Caddo Lake) will be using ground water or municipal water. This goes for the new power plants as well.

Narcissistic psychopath hired as CEO. Ran off anyone that she thought was a "threat" to her authority (as in anyone who gave her an answer she didn't like). Then work output slowed to a crawl as some of the key cogs in the day to day operations left.
She also punished groups for personal reasons. She would eliminate or move support personnel around to make those groups look bad when they could keep up with their workload due to understaffing.
I've heard that she was also embezzling; and that was one of the main reasons why she resigned (before anything could come out).

Also I have a theory that eventually these things will be obsolete. Like how computers took up an entire room in the 80s with the computing power of a Gameboy.
I think instead of being obsolete, they'll continue to scale within the same footprint. Instead of using X amount of using for a 2000 MW center, they will use 4X units in a 3000 MW center (ideally the additional power would come from on-site generation (SMRs).

I don't think it's getting info from your phone per say. But it's tracking and logging the signals that your phone, etc. is constantly sending out. So technically you're sending the signals, they're just analyzing them.

Company probably got caught trying to set up an in-house lab to save a buck. Then decided to blame it on an anonymous rogue employee instead of admitting it was guilty of contract violations.
From the inspection report.
Looks like Envirochem was going to set up a lab in there and didn't. Then they left it there because it's expensive to dispose of. Envirochem goes out of business/gets bought and the logs are lost due to shitty record keeping.
The lab I worked at found a bunch of these type of check sources during demo of an old trailer. They found out that the lazy arse Radiation Safety guy was keeping the sources in a bucket in his office trailer because it was too much work to get them out of the cabinet everytime.
Eta: Or an even simpler explanation. These standards were expired and instead of paying to dispose of them they tried to save a buck by shoving them in a cabinet.
Eta2: These are also Alpha and Beta standards. Not high gamma emitters. So as long as you don't drink it, it's mostly harmless.

LSU should be ranked higher than Tulane. Sure they may have better undergraduates, but our research scope and what we do from the Ag school and all the other research we do more research than Tulane.
If Rousse and Dalton can successfully merge LSU-BR, Pennington, and both Med Schools under the same unit then LSU will make a massive on paper leap in these kinds of rankings.

Be curious to know what level of waste this is.
It's probably all low level NORM sources/standards. They're typically diluted and then used for instrument calibration.
Yada yada, you get more radiation going through airport security.

Congressional term limits and banning individual stock trading would go a very long way to rebuilding people's trust in the legislature.

mean it makes sense if you could monitor the diffusing so the salt level doesn’t get too high to kill marine life. I’m not an engineer so I don’t know if that can be done or not.
I got curious so I looked into what has been done in Louisiana. And it can be done and will likely not cause environmental damage. The LOOP deepwater port sends their brine through a diffuser 2.5 miles offshore south of Fourchon. But the issue is Fed/EPA/NEPA approval which could take years to decades. Right now with Trump in office would probably be their best chance to get it through though.

A very impressive 0.994 fielding percentage last year. Only 1 error across 48 starts at 2B in 2026.
A much much needed defensive upgrade at 2B (or 3B?) if LSU can get him to campus.
