You keep digging.



The "NDA" shown is June 29th, 2024. The company was registered almost a month later on July 24h.

You have gone full retard as well as your sources.

Try harder next time.

chemical plants, refineries


There's a reason these are located near bodies of water besides importing and exporting. Very few use aquifers for freshwater supply.

Manufacturing, chemical plants, refineries, steel production all have high demands. Yet tools in this state, who would probably be happy with any of those industries coming in, can’t understand the context of industrial water usage as it pertains to major projects.
In my defense, I’ve never seen an article from those manufacturers or anyone else explaining how the data center water usage is par for the course and not anything we should worry about.

The Times has the most experienced in depth and fact-checked reporting in the country.


and the most biased coverage

If they "fact check" and find something that opposes their agenda, they just do not report it.

Aquifer is definitely used in many if not most chemical plants and refineries in Louisiana, even on the Mississippi and Calcasieu rivers. Dow in Taft LA is limited by USACE limiting additional large pipes over the river. 5 or 6 feet in diameter. Water from wells requires less treatment to be clean enough to use. Water refurned to the river is cleaner than when it was removed, not just silt but ag runoff chemicals.

Like giving billions in tax breaks to a $1 trillion company? Is that within reason?


Definitely when benefits outweigh what was lost.

The Times reported that covid was a zoonotic escape. They failed to notice that Fauci was bribing scientists even though it was public information.

The Times climate reporting suppressed scientists who dissented from orthodoxy - scientists who were proved correct.

The Times suppressed The Great Barrington Declaration.

The Times routinely suppresses and spins data on racial trends in crimes.

The Times is a partisan rag!

You idiots don’t understand business incentive structures to help lure in investments


I absolutely do understand it, I just don't like the way Louisiana does it. The ITEP approval process ensures palms get greased to get the tax abatements. It adds uncertainty from an investment perspective too, since the company investing isn't guaranteed the deferral. Just change the tax code, and ensure the companies are engaged in the repair of the infrastructure they use. Cut out the grift.

What does Texas do? Would they have come here without the breaks?

If you go digging you will find that Julia Letlow made money off this shite as did many more politicians.


Tell me how much money she made off this deal. There was a lengthy thread about this the last two days and it appears that she did not even make a paycheck off this and was probably traded through a managed fund.


This is why Republicans dont get a fricking thing done. We eat our own while the Dems all line up behind Nazis and Jihaddists...
