Louisiana's $300B+ project pipeline includes Meta Hyperion, Amazon and Hut 8 AI data centers

A thread lists Louisiana's $300B+ project pipeline, with AI data centers as a major chunk: Meta's $50B Hyperion AI data center under construction plus $13B in Entergy power buildout for Meta; Amazon's $18B multi-site AI data centers and a $10B Hut 8 AI data center, both under construction. The rest is mostly LNG export expansions (Venture Global, Commonwealth, Cameron, etc., $80B combined), a planned $100B SpaceX Starbase LA, and a Hyundai steel mill. The author argues Louisiana, an underrated southern economic powerhouse, is set for its own boom over the next decade.
