About 8 months ago when congress was danielle von zerneck passing the energy bill to fatten the pockets of their rich friends, two Senators from Louisiana, Sen. Landriu and Sen. Vitter danielle von zerneck were fighting for an amendment to the Bill. This amendment was to give the state of Louisiana 2-3% of the oil royalties for oil coming through Louisiana infrastructure. ( Note: States that have oil produced on their land have royalties of 50% or higher). So it seems rather reasonable right?? This money was going to restore the coastal erosion of Louisiana. danielle von zerneck Why is that important you ask? The coastline is what protects New Orleans and the oil industry from Hurricanes like Katrina. It bears the brunt of the storm if you will. Louisiana loses 25 square miles per year to erosion. Well after me watching these two senators fight for days to get the ammendment passed on CSPAN... they get the votes. Now granted this wouldn't have stopped Katrina it would have been at least a recognition of the US Congress that Louisiana infrastructure needed to be protected in order to secure the oil industry and PEOPLE from these storms.
