Key Developments & Data
A federal judge denied Entergy Arkansas' request to block local newspapers from publishing details of a data center deal.
Google is slated to pay Entergy $526M to support a new solar farm, alongside an additional $190M for transmission upgrades.
Entergy argued the published reporting contained a serious error by calculating only 12 months of payments rather than the full 20-year term.
The judge ruled that silencing the publications constitutes illegal prior restraint of First Amendment rights.
"This statement operates on a fallacious and unchecked assumption that the figure in question was the result of a mathematical calculation." — Lee Wolverton
