Karen, you're not paying attention. The Coast 2050 program has been planned since 1998. A very mixed bunch of scientists, oil companies, fishermen, environmentalists, etc., support it. People who would ordinarily be at each others' throats see the wisdom in it. Read up on it, I think you will eventually agree with me that its national implications justify doing it. I can see that you could care less about NO and Louisiana. Fine, that's your prerogative. perhaps you might care about the fact Coast 2050's $14bn price tag is a lot cheaper than the cost of rebuilding after a hurricane. It also promotes the health of the port [the only realistic way to export grain from he midwest is through NO] and of the Gulf of Mexico's oil and gas industry. I think you'd agree these are sufficently important national issues such that they deserve the attention of the Administration you uncritically support even if you take NO and Louisiana out of the pictue. Put it another way, you'd be for it if there were nobody here.
