We’re doomed, Norm. Doomed I tell you.

maybe all the pythons (30,000?) is the real reason they may be delaying the everglades reservoir project..
Huge project to restore Everglades to be suspended
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080516/ap_on_re_us/everglades_reservoir_2
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Construction on a huge reservoir meant to help restore the Everglades will be put on hold over a lawsuit brought by a group that fears the water could be diverted for other purposes.
The South Florida Water Management District, whose board voted Thursday to stop work, has already spent about $250 million on construction. The delay could cost nearly $14 million.
The 25-square-mile reservoir — the largest of its kind in the world — is estimated to cost up to $800 million and was set for completion in 2010.
No one disagrees that storing runoff water is key to reviving the famed River of Grass. But the Natural Resources Defense Council is suing, claiming the state has not legally committed itself to using the water primarily for restoration.
