I frickin love em. And the compressor stations that move product through them. And the underground storage facilities that they empty into as well.
Same here. Feeds and has fed my family for generations.

They have diversions and won’t open them due to oyster fishermen harvesting oysters in areas that never had them before due to saltwater intrusion.
It’s all in litigation and corruption. As usual. Open the gates all the way all the time. Plus make more.
It’s the only way.
Beyond that- blow up the levee system south of Belle chase
Blow the levees is the right answer.

That’s an ignorant statement.
Pipelines have caused copious amounts of damage to the marsh and the land is never restored to how it was before the pipelines were there. The O&G companies never hold up their end of the bargain for properly decommissioning the pipelines and cleaning up after themselves.
I work in the maritime industry and have a background in O&G and know how crucial these pipelines are to the daily life of our country, but I believe that O&G is largely to blame for much of the erosion we are currently seeing in our marshes.

I don’t think anyone would argue that. Midstream isn’t the lone culprit tho. The location canals they dug all over certainly hastened erosion via salt water intrusion. But it’s not just O&G. The failure to let the MR replenish the marsh via flood control is equally if not a bigger culprit. And the oyster fishermen deserve a huge dose of blame for that.
Fixing it without allowing the MR or Atchafalaya River do their thing(s) isn’t gonna happen. But what do you do with all the people and infrastructure that would be impacted by that? It’s easy to say “they gotta go”. But I don’t see that happening. Unless Mother Nature does it on her own.

They need to go back to the drawing board on that burrito bag that was in the middle of the dune. Any beach where that was located got annihilated
