## Resource

This hour, Doug Kelly with the American Edge Project joins Newell to explain how the Richland Parish Meta project could trigger $2 billion in Entergy customer savings, fire up new workforce training for our skilled trades, and open up $1.6 billion+ in contracts for local businesses right here in Southeast Louisiana. Then, Newell opens the phone lines, and the WWL listeners chime in about the stability of social security and the strength of the energy grids.
