It’s not recycled if it’s pulled from an aquifer.

Are they going to cancel this now and just copy DeepSeek?

I had to google to even know where Holly Ridge is
I think the only thing there is a big rice dryer/elevator.

Like sucking it right out of the aquifer
Or they could use cooking towers and recycle the water. It would be a sealed system so the water won't go "bad".

The main internet line that runs between two of the largest Internet hubs Dallas and Atlanta runs along I20. While Jackson / Vicksburg is approximately halfway, the land over there is rolling hills and more populated. Holly Ridge is merely an exit on the interstate. No town no nothing really.
So it’s flat, no hills, cheap land and can basically build an entire community there from scratch.
Vicksburg is a short ride, so is Rayville and Winnsboro. Monroe/West Monroe has basically all the same chain stores, restaurants, and decent housing. It’s a 30 minute commute.
While the area is certainly not in the same league as Plano, TX, it certainly has the potential to become something nice over the next 20 years. 30 years ago, the area North of Dallas was ranches and little towns. Now it’s all part of the Dallas Megapolis. I don’t see that happening in Holly Ridge, but it certainly has potential.

Rumor is that’s why all of the solar farms are popping up N of I-20. Good economic win for NELA
I wouldn't go so far as to say that its for NELA. For the landowners, sure. and for the Solar Farm investors. But I wouldn't want a solar farm anywhere near me. Nor a wind farm.

ULM should get in on this with some partnership with META

They should as the flagship school in the University of Louisiana system.

As the nearest University that could supply educated workers, the partnership would be a natural
This is where LA has failed in the past.

Just as a reference point, the Dallas Fort Worth data center withdrew 404 million liters (+100 million gallons) of water from their aquifer in 2023.

Yeah. Life partners. Might as well bring in a Suburu plant or soccer "fields."

Is going to take something like 1/5th of all the power produced in the state and they are building new power plants just to power it.

For the power plant or the data center itself? I find it hard to believe a data center would use that much water for cooling unless there's a lot more to the story. Maybe a 1 time pull and it's recirculating in a closed loop system?

The data center itself. Obviously, the technology is evolving to become more efficient, but water use is something that often goes unsaid with these projects.
From a Lenovo I found after a quick google search:
the average data center uses 300,000 gallons of water a day to keep cool, roughly equivalent to water use in 100,000 homes. Many data centers directly consume water on-site to remove the heat generated by the IT equipment.

That article is a Lenovo sales piece. Their fact citation is an NPR article that is wrong.

Like I said, it was a quick google search.
These centers (for the most part) use a lot of water. It’s just something to keep in mind.
