Jindal did a good thing. Fresh water kills oysters .... but then letting oil come in would have too and would have done even more damage.

Listen if there weren't those dams there from which fresh water was released, the periodic influxes of fresh water would regularly kill oysters too. And after dry years, salt water would encroach again and oysters would recolonize the areas. To be killed off again following heavy rain and snow years in the Mississippi drainage.

Nature isn't static.

"Now, reports indicate that the freshwater diversions have had a catastrophic impact on southeastern Louisiana’s oyster beds that is far in excess of the damage done by oil from the spill."

Perfectly predictable. And further proof that Jindal is just winging it instead of talking to experts.
