I wonder if he's talking about this one.

The Hedge fund guys have been circling Blue Owl for a while now. This feels like a move out of Industry to try and fight them off.

Gotcha. I just thought it interesting to put that out there since Blackrock is the boogeyman to parts of this board.

Meta comes under scrutiny after WSJ report highlights auditor's data center accounting concerns
Found a non-paywalled summary.

---

Although the auditor eventually signed off on the decision, it still highlighted the move as a "critical audit matter," the report said. The project, dubbed Hyperion, was relocated into a new joint venture with Blue Owl Capital. Meta owns 20% of the venture, while funds managed by Blue Owl constitute the rest. Since Meta is not the "primary beneficiary" of this project, it did not find it necessary to include it on its balance sheet.

I have not done the math, and I don't mean to be argumentative. However, the number of MWs of storage (from solar power generated battery storage capacity) compared to the probably (2400MW???) (800 MW per plant * 3 plants) would probably be insufficient, even from a capacity margin perspective???

Based on public records. Entergy is looking to build 3 1500MW (4500MW) facilities in Richland Parish primarily to support the META site. Franklin Farms 1 & 2; Richland 1 & 2; and Richland 3 & 4.

The 70% number includes natural gas and petroleum fuels. The electricity part is further down.

Someone, possibly in this thread, will say they are not closed loop.

Even with a closed loop system you still have the initial startup and blowdown water. But it's probably tens of thousands of gallons per day on average, not millions.

Upon some further research. 529 plans also allow Roth conversion. Found a previous thread on the LA START accounts.

To each their own, but I still don't see the benefit of the Trump accounts if you're not eligible for the seed money or an employer match.

Data centers are ruining north LA?

Ooooh no big bad boogie man.

Give me a break. North LA needs this honestly. Not shite going on otherwise

Considering these are all tied into the same grid; I'm much more worried about what they'll do to my electricity bill than the local eyesore.

Socialize the costs, and privatize the profits.

Assuming Vegas and Seattle get expansion teams, where would they go? St. Louis? Nashville? Kansas City? Another California/Texas/Florida team?

Correct, Pelicans likely missed their window to relocate. Still holding out hope that one day new owners and GM for both Pelicans and Saints will have them back from the grave.

I vaguely remember seeing something about McMahon basically being a stop gap due to the investigation before they hired someone who can actually coach.

---

That was the talking point at the time. McMahon was the safe hire. Was supposed to have a high floor and would have LSU in the middle of the pack in the SEC, with the potential for an occasional Week 2 of tourney run.

But it's incompetency to give a stop gap safe hire a 7 year (with an automatic 8th if penalties came down) contract. Yes, in theory, if he had won then you have a successful cheap coach on a long term contract. But, if McMahon had been successful, LSU still would have had to renegotiate to keep him from getting poached anyways.

eta: Too bad NIL wasn't in it's current form back then. Might have been able to convince Tari Eason to stay. Tari Eason and KJ Williams would have been a dangerous combination. A healthy Shareef O'Neal would have been a solid contributor too. But that goes back to re-recruiting the current roster when a new coach comes in.
