Okay this sounds interesting as a short term solution (though I don’t see what the medium and long term solutions will be) - I’d be interested in knowing what companies are benefiting from this and how much, etc and what the transition plans will be.
But there is one majorly fucked up part of the plan: this is an untested methodology, so they’re testing it under the homes of black and poor communities. Louisianan does not disappoint.

That’s the concern. Its still very much in the planning stages with decisions set to be made later on in the year about larger scale solutions. The people who that article talks about do have a voice and there’s a strong chance the state will bend to those concerns and choose somewhere else.
But yeah, Louisiana is a shitty state to live in in general. It ranks dead last in several metrics of civilized life out of the 50 states. It’s also heavily republican and politically backwards. But we’re trying to make progress.
