"Louisiana: Why America's most important state is collapsing"

This is a short clip on YouTube, and I wanted to get the input of OT Louisianians on the claims in the video. It briefly goes through the history of the state, lays out why it's important, and makes the claim that the state's potential is wasted. It also makes important claims that I've read elsewhere; that Louisiana is fighting a battle against nature that it has no chance to win, no matter how many dollars the Army Corps of Engineers drops there. Specifically, it addresses how the Mississippi River is fighting against human engineering to change course westwards, and how much of south Louisiana is essentially a pile of mud that can't be shored up.

Years before Katrina I'd read an articles with quotes from geologists and civil engineers that there's no truly viable way to preserve New Orleans and the surrounding areas in the long run because of the drainage, soil loss, and bedrock issues. So some of these claims in the video are not new to me, but he does a good job of summarizing them. If there are dissenting views on the "save-ability" of south LA, I'd be interested to hear them here.
