"“If Cameron Parish was a country, it would be the third largest exporter nation in the world,” said Clair Hebert Marceaux, Port Director at Cameron Port, Harbor & Terminal District."

Your fossil fuel hating pal Joe Biden and his pals will shut that project down. Just like he shut down Keystone. And JBE will help him do it.

If they were a country, the US would have built the terminals elsewhere and they would just be exporting mud.

Their schools are 90% federally funded, and have been for decades. They have nice school buildings actually because of that.

well it was never going to be anything big. Not enough industry down there then. Actually prolly would be pretty good not if not for the hurricanes with the new LNG plants.

But nobody is going to move there as it is an hour drive to anything. Plus its expensive to build and insure down there.

My family left after audrey but had an aunt and uncle that stayed until laura finished them off.
