Before you write an article, you should have a 360 degree view of the project and community, not a 1 degree view focused on just blacks in Ironton. Look at the entire thing including white towns closer to the project, taxes for parish, changing peoples lives with better pay, distance from towns, size and scope of project. You need to do a better job with a fully encompassing scope on articles like this.
Not to mention that it is 6 miles away from Venture Global which is plenty, plenty distance as to not have to worry about pollution. I'd venture to say 30% of the US including most whites live within 6 miles of a major energy infrastructure plant. The white community of Myrtle Grove, LA will be closer to the Venture Global plant than the black community of Ironton. Do I see you making an article on the white community of Myrtle Grove? No, because it doesn't fit your agenda.
In addition to this, it's highly likely that a number of Ironton residents will get high paying jobs at this Plant that would otherwise resort to minimum wage paying jobs. That's changing the lives of dozens of people in the community to go from $10 an hour to six figures with benefits paying jobs.
IN ADDITION, this plant will make up the largest source of tax to the parish. There will be so many benefits of school renovations, teacher pay increase, endless things that the tax from this plant will bring in.
It's just naively stupid to think that this plant will be a detriment to the parish. It will be a huge, huge benefit to the community.
This community of Ironton and author are so stupid. I'll break down each part of article one by one. 1st, the majority white town of La Reuissite is closer to the Alliance Refinery than Ironton and the all white town of Myrtle Grove Marina is closer to Kinder Morgan IMTT Coal storage than Ironton. Ever hear those white towns complain? Nope, it's only the black towns like Ironton complaining crying racial injustice when they aren't even as close or effected as the white towns of La Reussite and Myrtle Grove. 2nd, they aren't even providing gas for the town of Ironton might be the dumbest thing in this article. Venture Global will export 4,000,000,000 or 4 billion cubic feet of nat gas a day. Know how much a town like Ironton would use? probably 100 cubic feet a day, or something to the tune of 00.000001% of production. Why would VG care about that? 3rd, I'm not sure of this but I have a hunch they already have natural gas in the area. Why would they want anymore if they are already provided for?
4th "“You can build a massive facility,” Naomi asks, “but you can’t build some houses?” This is also a very dumb question. The parish isn't funding this plant. It's coming from Venture Global's pocket paying for 100% of the venture. They are self funding. So you want your home funded from the government, but complaining how Venture Global is self reliant funding? Makes 0 sense. You have to pay for your house just like they have to pay for their project.
This article reeks of social justice warrior when it's erroneously inaccurate and wrong on many levels. Getting so many points wrong, and devaluing the white communities that are closer to the refinery and coal storage than majority black Ironton.
