re: Louisiana Coastal Erosion.

Oh I understand that removing levees won't fix the problem. I'm not even calling for that. I think we all understand that the Port of New Orleans remaining intact is pretty high up on the totem pole. To quote from "Beautiful Crescent":

The Mississippi has run its present course since the sixteenth century. It was on the verge of jumping again when explorers appeared on the scene. If such a jump were to occur now below New Orleans, it would require a whole new system of navigation from the Gulf to the City. But if it were to occur above New Orleans, the result would be disastrous. [One of] the largest port[s] in the United States would no longer be situated on a river but a stagnant stream.

So this state is tasked with the challenge of controlling nature in perpetuity, it seems. I'm pretty sure that never ends well.
