1443 Reviewing New Orleans plans for protecting the city

As the "who's responsible?" list grows, Belmont Club points to an article in Civil Engineering Magazine in 2003, "The creeping storm." It's a fascinating article with a lot of history and good clarification of the problems the area deals with.

Also, follow up on in Google with the links about that Coast 2050 Plan to protect the coastal wetlands (it will be quite a struggle to work through the moonbats, but if you are persistent, you'll find good stuff). I think this is the $14 Billion plan the RFKites have been complaining has been underfunded by Bush--by some millions. It is a plan supported by environmentalists, city planners and evil oil interests, and is important, but wouldn't have kept the levees from being breached. Wouldn't have stopped an act of God. From what I read, it has a history of not being been fully funded, millions short also in Clinton's administration. Although with government funds, it is hard to tell since what is promised isn't what is spent. But in a program that size, millions mean little. It would hardly build a bridge to nowhere in Alaska ($223 million for an island with 50 inhibitants).
