re: Gov. Landry has pulled the plug on Louisiana’s biggest coastal project, Tulane expert says

Should have never led with this project to begin with.

“Too big to fail”.

In my experience and without fail, Louisiana has wrongly chosen their water resouces projects starting with the outfall canals, but not without the meddling buffoonery of the enviros or other special interests (fisheries?).

Think “special ops” when it comes to projects, not massive ground campaign (no pun)

---

But was it not the BP trust that decided on this project to begin with? How much influence does the state of Louisiana (or any other gulf coast state) have in the decisions that that trust makes? In any case - weather this was the correct project to begin with or even go forward with - that decision has already been made by the trust and the state of Louisiana (however long ago) agreed to move forward with the project and half of a billion has already been paid to contractors for mobilization and ground work. And I have been on the site - and there is a lot of mobilization and ground work that has already happened. I am arguing that since that has already happened that no one can undo what has been done and no one can put the toothpaste back in the tube. Not moving forward at this point does not make a lot of sense. I won't argue about the size/scope/details of this particular project because I don't know enough and I don't know of any alternatives if there ever were any (I assume there were, but I really don't know). Maybe there were other types of projects with different scopes that would have been better and more efficient and with a better ROI. But that is irrelevant and that time has passed and we are here where we are right now.

FoLlOw the BrEadCruMbs!

You can’t point to shite, you just sound like a q tard grasping at straws who is afraid of anyone with a masters degree.

I’ve been to cpra meetings. It’s a unified front representing virtually all south Louisiana. All hands are on deck except the oystermafia and our knuckle dragging governor. You’re obviously some piece of shite swamp dweller in Washington with industry ties.

CPRA is in the process of a Mid Breton Land Bridge project that is much more feasible with similar results at a fraction of the costs of the diversion.

Those land bridge projects are extremely susceptible to storms.

There is one that CPRA was/is working on near New Orleans that was completely wiped out by a storm this past year. Wasn't a hurricane/tropical storm, just one of those dangerous bands of thunderstorms that came through.

I think you need to first explain Mardis Gras pass first before you start arguing against diversions.

shite, before even that, you need to explain why when they built the Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion it completely changed the east side of the river. The west side looks like a dying desert of former marsh. The nutrients being brought in from Caernarvon is allowing grass to grow again, capturing more sediment allowing land to rebuild, even though the original design didn’t include land building.
