This is what has to be done "anyway", even if resistance or mitigation or adaption is tried. Accept the consequences. Stop bitching about it too.<br /><br />More dead, stupid humans will be a good thing in the long run. Think about it. All the stupidity that drove us to build in marshes and high-tide / surge tide regions need to be rectified. All the greed that drove idiotic humans to defy the natural laws of finite resources needs to be readjusted (to reality). <br /><br />More dead humans WILL be the perfect answer for our incessant greed and stupidity as a species. Stop resisting and start enjoying the "more dead humans" celebration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579549341020421678.post-7082096313060462492014-11-25T18:40:25.616-06:002014-11-25T18:40:25.616-06:00A horrible project.

Also, the dike would have to close off the natural pass at San Luis, a fisherman and birdwatcher's paradise, and would be built across tens of miles of marsh and prairie now protected as national wildlife refuges, all to protect two small communities outside of the Univ. of Houston proposal. In reality the Ike Dike is a developer's dream. It would open up vast acreages of land to development. Currently the homes on Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula beyond the sea wall are built on stilts. This works well, but isn't suitable for the massive, residential, built on slab subdivisions that characterize most of Houston. The real money makers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
