Well, what's wrong with the current Texas location? That's about as good a spot for a launchpad as anywhere in the US, except maybe Cape Canaveral.

I think fuel supply and room to expand are the big benefits of the Louisiana location.

But the houston area has big refineries too, right?

But yeah, I suppose space and nearby people are the issue with the Texas place, as is in the news all the time.
