Optimized Process Designs, an affiliate company of Koch Engineered Solutions, has signed a definitive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreement with Fidelis New Energy for its renewable fuels processing facility along the Port of Greater Baton Rouge
The EPC firm will handle construction on the Grn Facility and related infrastructure for supporting the GigaSystem carbon negative renewable fuels facility. The GigaSystem uses Carbon Capture and Sequestration with Carbon Negative Power and facilitates the production of carbon negative renewable fuels.
The biofuels facility is expected to be capable of producing one billion gallons of biofuels and the equivalent of 1,000 MW in electrolyzer-generated hydrogen. Hydrogen does not emit carbon and is seen as creating carbon-negative renewable fuels when combined with carbon capture.
They are among a handful of Virginia Tech students who passed within the orbit of the gunman or his victims in the last hours before his murderous assault. They have had a week now to reflect on the ominous warning signs that may have existed before Cho carried out his massacre.
For Grewal and Koch, a few of their bizarre interactions with Cho make more sense. But to them and others, Cho's actions remain as inexplicable as they were when the gunfire started echoing through campus a week ago.
Koch remembers taking Cho out to some parties at the start of the fall semester in 2005. He introduced Cho to friends, but the sullen roommate didn't say much. At one party, Cho did get tipsy enough that he opened up and began talking about his virtual love life.
Then there was the beer-pong game. It was down to the final shot, and it was Cho's turn to sink a ping-pong ball in a beer-filled cup from across a table. Cho stared down a cup of beer and nailed the shot with amazing accuracy.
"I didn't know why he called, and I was like 'What's up.' He goes, 'I'm vacationing with Vladimir Putin. I was like, 'Really? I think he lives in Russia.' He's like, 'Yeah, we're in North Carolina.' I'm like, 'I'm pretty sure that's not possible Seung.' "
One night, he was awakened by police officers banging on the door. Cho had been harassing a female student over the Internet and was talking about suicide, and police showed up to intervene. When Cho did the same to a friend of Koch's, and the woman contacted the police, Cho sent a text message to his suitemate.
If not for the dozen or so protesters waving anti-Koch signs at the corner of Frank Sinatra Drive and Highway 111, most motorists would've never known that atop the hill at the Ritz-Carlton Resort, two of America's wealthiest men were gathering for the weekend with high profile Republican politicians and donors.
The low-key gathering of protesters was much smaller than the one in 2011 that attracted hundreds of demonstrators outside the Rancho Las Palmas resort on Bob Hope Drive and a large showing of law enforcement officials in riot gear. Police later said they were there to protect federal judges at the resort.
The only police presence Saturday morning was one police car parked at the Rancho Mirage City Hall entrance off Frank Sinatra Drive. That entrance was closed off, so the only entrance to city hall was off Highway 111.
U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida, along with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, are among those expected to attend the gathering, which will include an hourlong online panel discussion with the three at 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
The brothers, though, have long defended their annual desert gathering, with a spokesman in 2011 saying "attendees discuss solutions to our most pressing issues and strategies to promote policies that will help grow our economy, foster free enterprise and create American jobs."
Attorney and Rancho Mirage resident Michael Harrington said he is fine with the Koch brothers' conference in town, but is not OK with some of the more crude protest signs that for example read "Koch suckers."
The demonstration actually started on Meadow Lane in the downtown area but when police cleared the area the protesters went onto the beach and marched the one-mile distance to the Koch beach house. They had a drum, horns, and a saxophone and marched until they were stopped by Secret Service and Romney campaign staff at the edge of the Koch property. Where they were stopped they began to sing, chant and wave signs while a MoveOn.org plane buzzed and circled overhead. A Coast Guard vessel watched from offshore throughout the peaceful protest.
