Zuck has aligned himself quickly (like the spineless ass kisser he is) , ideologically and in action, to the Republican party. Of course Meta is gonna use fossil fuels and not woke solar.

While they are at it, I am pretty sure they will enable a couple of extra genocides like they did in Myanmar with the extra capacities from that data center.

People still want their software to work at night. And last I checked, Louisiana had access to lots of water.

Wait, are you making a “with solar electricity will go away at night” argument?

Because it does? You either have to have a dispatchable energy source to turn on at night and on cloudy days (usually fossil fuels), or storage for 12+ hours. Actually more than 12 hours in case there's extended periods of cloud cover.

Because Louisiana is very rich with natural gas on cheap land, has low regulation, and governor after governor that is down for being a testing ground for new wacky republican policies.

They also placed it near Grand Gulf, and there is a lot of water in that area.
