@E_Urquijo I would not be opposed to this… but the good news is that there’s already a ton of underutilized land on that side of Weeqwahic Park. Something similar could be done there near the movie studio.

This will be the last opportunity to redevelop 87 acres in Northern New Jersey. This should be heavy manufacturing and power plant generation… even nuclear. The State should step in with Essex County and the City of Newark to work with the owners. Major opportunities for job creation and long term power generation/price stability.

@GK_ventures Hartz tried to do that for decades. It looks like the Meadowlands has those plans.
English
@jmaxmann Another option - several world class hotels, restaurants, a park and a convention center
NJ needs more business-friendly options to convene leaders. Airport-adjacent location would be a big bonus.
English
@jmaxmann Based on what I see of most new construction in Essex County, we will probably get bland new storage facilities for people’s belongings as well as fulfillment centers
English
@JonatPhil @sportsandmusing I know it won’t be cheap… but the State has some really good incentive programs and I would target them here.
English
@jmaxmann @sportsandmusing I am fine with it, but it won’t be cheap. There are no cheap SMR yet. Hopefully we get some more breakthrough soon
English
@jmaxmann @sportsandmusing SMR and wind at this site would not provide cheap power, unfortunately
English
@jmaxmann It's all academic, we're not going to see new nuclear anywhere in NJ, unfortunately. On the outside chance anything goes up it'd probably be a new unit at the existing site.
English
@jmaxmann A nuclear power plant right by an airport runway?
English
@sportsandmusing One of the biggest obstacles to on shoring manufacturing is cheap and reliable power.
English
@jmaxmann I’m not even sure ud need heavy manufacturing to make it pencil (sure still some subsidy) if you could get transmission into surburban Jersey / NYC given where power prices are and NYCs fuel oil debacles
English
Happened in Minneapolis, and it will happen in Massachusetts as well.

"But rent control doesn't hurt supply!!!" 🤡 Below is from EQR's earnings call last week when asked about rent control ballot measure in Massachusetts.

@Peter1987Fallow It’s been a brewery for a century. The infrastructure is there. It should not be wasted on distribution centers (though I will admit that’s a logical use near the port). Great opportunity for heavy manufacturing and SMR’s. I’d be thrilled with a new full nuclear plant in Kearney.
English
@jmaxmann Newark Airport should be surrounded by an airport city type hub. The baby step of the landside access the PA is finally putting in helps that a bit. A power plant forecloses other uses on that site, plus I assume they'd have evacuation drills that would be disruptive.
English
@Peter1987Fallow I agree on the site in Kearney. Why do you not like the site in Newark?
English
@jmaxmann You have a better site by the decommissioned coal generating station in Kearney. You have a water source there too.
English
@jmaxmann You want to site a new nuclear power plant next to the airport?
English
@sportsandmusing You could fit multiple SMR’s there and link heavy manufacturing to it. Game changer.
English
@jmaxmann A few GW of nuclear that wind up at even at like $200 per MWH at that location would be a game changer considering where power prices are

The simple solution is for eBay to auction itself on its own site.

@jonfavs i just think we should consider how liberals would react if a republican walked around with a nazi tattoo, bragged about it years ago, and then apologized once he ran for office. we'd be screaming bloody murder and rightfully so.
so...how is it okay when platner does it?
English
@mattplatkin I’d pick a better expert… and certainly someone who has been with the company since at least the Obama presidency.
English
Respectfully, that’s just false. JetBlue was pretty clear that financially opening up those routes was incredibly important for them… and Spirit was pretty clear even then that it was in serious financial trouble. Creating a stronger combined carrier with JetBlue’s balance sheet and operational expertise would’ve preserved and strengthened a low cost carrier. Finally— Spirit’s problems predate even COVID… so getting those planes and routes into the hands of JetBlue would’ve led to a much better result than what we are seeing now. I would suggest that would be better off reflecting on the side you chose and learning from it.
English
The proposed merger would have bankrupted JetBlue. But, sure, it’s cute to blame our efforts to block consolidation in many industries, which indisputably have benefited consumers, rather than President Trump’s illegal, misguided war that has caused global oil prices to spike.
Victoria Flynn@AswVickyFlynn
Consumers benefited from Spirit’s low fares per @WSJ below ⬇️ Yet NJ’s former Attorney General spent your tax dollars and joined the Biden administration to block @JetBlue’s acquisition of @SpiritAirlines. Now Spirit is gone, resulting in a loss of NJ jobs and driving up cost of airfare. @declanoscanlon @NJAsmGerry @NJAssemblyGOP @NJSenateGOP

BREAKING
On the heels of the Spirit Airlines shutdown, @BreezeAirways announces upcoming new routes out of @ACY_Airport that will maintain service to key destinations including: Orlando, Myrtle Beach, Fort Myers, and West Palm Beach.
