In New Orleans--the Fed's should not allow anything to be built in those
areas that were destroyed during the last hurricane. Someone stated,
"Let's rebuild New Orleans in a different part of the state that is ABOVE
sea level."
I agree with the person that made that statement. However, they will not
follow this advice. The end result will be that New Orleans will be
destroyed again within the next 10 years by another hurricane. It's kind
of like rebuilding a house located next to a large river everytime there
is a flood.
New Orleans should be declared "Wetlands". The Fed's protect the Wetlands
in some areas but they don't seem to care about the fact that New Orleans
is a
Wetland.

Re: We Could Build a Coal-to-Gasoline Conversion Plant
 

That is a good idea, the only problem is it will not solve the problem. It
will reduce the INCREASE in the amount of oil we import but not our need for
the fast amounts of crude we use to fuel the various economies of the world.
Gasoline is only a small part of why we need to import crude. The people
in every other major industrial country in the world pays a lot more for
gasoline than do we, and they are still using more every year. If every
vehicle in the US miraculously got twice as many miles per gallon some day
we would still need crude for it carbon stocks and the excess gasoline would
simply be burned off at the refineries, as it was before it became a motor
fuel.

Re: We Could Build a Coal-to-Gasoline Conversion Plant
 

The Germans in WW2 used coal for gasoline extensively - yet we can't
seem to get it right after 60+ years.

As long as we have the NIMBY syndrome all fuels are going to keep
going up.

Maybe, just maybe, someday the problem will be recognized. In the
meantime open your wallets cause we haven't even started to feel the
affects of our "green" policies.

Hopefully a little reason will prevail when my Grandkids are
grandparents. (I predict 40 more years of thrashing about like we're
doing now)

And what do you do with whatever's leftover from the conversion process?
Or controlling pollution FROM the conversion process?

Not to mention all the deaths and injuries from MINING coal.
