Not sure if you meant that seriously or sarcastically, but we do not do a hell of a lot to court industry. We certainly are not perceived as a business friendly state by outside capital.

This year's ranking marks a 14-spot jump for Louisiana
quote:
When Gov. Bobby Jindal took office, Louisiana was ranked 48th in the U.S. Louisiana's ranking improved to 46th in 2008, then moved to 44th in 2009 and 41st in 2010, and then jumped to 27th in the latest ranking. Louisiana's 21-spot improvement since early 2008 is the largest improvement of any state in the U.S. during that period of time. Louisiana also was the second most improved state in the U.S. in the last year.

Pollina Corporate Real Estate awarded Louisiana its first ever "Most Improved State" designation based on Louisiana's improved business climate ranking from 2008 to 2010. Louisiana ranked 20th on Pollina's 2010 business climate ranking, up from 27th in 2009 and 40th in 2008.
Site Selection magazine ranked Louisiana's business climate the ninth best in the nation, which represented Louisiana's first appearance in the top 10. Louisiana also was the most improved state in Site Selection's ranking of top business climates based on its recent jump to No. 9 in 2010 from No. 25 in 2009.
Business Facilities named Louisiana FastStart the best state workforce training program in the U.S., and ranked Louisiana's business climate eighth best overall in the U.S.
Southern Business & Development magazine named Louisiana "Co-state of the Year" for the second year in a row, citing Louisiana's success in attracting more significant business development wins per capita than any other Southern state.
Site Selection ranked Louisiana third best in its 2011 "Governor's Cup" projects ranking, behind only Texas and Ohio. Additionally, on a per-capita basis, Louisiana's ranking jumped from ninth in 2009 to first in the U.S. for 2010.

All true. But there is a reality we all might want to get our head around. There was a realistic threat the the Mississippi would change course here. So if you were going to build a new billion dollar refinery, would you put it on the Mississippi River?
Too bad no one builds new refineries in the US. It's a declining business - there's too much US capacity and margins are extremely low.
