Question #1

Will Marsh’s financial and strategic focus on delivering the 8 GW gas build-out come at the expense of the deep operational oversight required to prevent the kind of systemic execution failures that occurred under his watch at Grand Gulf and during Hurricane Ida?

Question #2

To secure approval for the pivotal Meta data center, will Marsh adapt his approach to build the local regulatory consensus that has historically been a critical weakness, or will he rely on a top-down strategic push that risks repeating past failures with the LPSC?

Question #3

As Marsh executes the complex $40B financing plan, will his demonstrated strength in high-level capital strategy be undermined by the lack of detailed oversight that led to material accounting control failures, ultimately eroding the investor trust needed to mitigate dilution?
