Unfeasability of rebuilding New Orleans

Skip the obvious bias from energy producers who want the money spent on their industry instead...this has some interesting background and history of the city.

I don't take this article as supporting the industry, rather the opposite. The oil and gas industry causing the entire gulf coast to sink into the abyss? I don't think so. Subsidence, maybe some possible localized effects but not area wide impacts. Global warming? The usual leftist tripe.

It is certainly true that without a source of siltation to offset subsidence, the city will continue to sink. I like their suggestion that anyone who wants to rebuild with government help, has to build greater than 30 ft. above sea level. Other scientific "facts" of the article (liquefaction from hurricanes, resonant waves causing levee failure AHEAD of the storm) sound like the stuff of science fiction.
