Good read for looking at what happens when you go against oil and gas

Thought this was an interesting read on how crappy our politicians can be if this information is actually true.

Dude should have been removed from the levee board.

i still believe the oil and gas footprint wouldn't be near as bad if the miss river was never contained between the levees. but then again nobody would live down here

It's true.... the LA coastline vs O&G is just a small footprint of the way the government has pitted itself against the industry.

And we vote for the oil barons that suppress more sustainable energy sources.

Statoil is one. They are pumping so much $$ into offshore wind turbine plants. They look cool as shite.
Statoil NYC wind

It's nonsense because... you want to believe so?

No. I mean your statement of it being "suppressed" is nonsense... and I don't believe so; I know so.

Old article, but good nonetheless. I've been seeing it making rounds again.
It really is depressing to look at overhead photos of dredged canals and think about what the marsh would look like without them. Cash is king.

It's always funny seeing these types of threads pop up. They start off good and then people start shitting all over the O&G industry like its 100% responsible for destroying the marsh.
Geology books can do wonders for some people on this Earth. In reality, O&G dredging of canals is realistically responsible for close to 10%.
Louisiana geology is 70% if not more with thousands of faults all around the state, and then the remainder belongs to human interaction into river systems, i.e. levees.
If humans would have let the MS river jump to the Atchafalaya system 40-50 years ago like it wanted to, total land loss would be negligible.

So, industries making trillions of dollars from fossil fuels aren't trying to hold back competition?
But, I'm glad you "know so".

why are they participating. it seems if your opinion was true they would hire terrorist to break the wind turbines or protest.

So we've moved from O&G companies to now all industries that utilize fossil fuels?
