Cajun Field when built was -2 ft below sea level in 1970.
With all this global warming/climate change happening and using modern satellite data that is accurate to within a fraction of an inch. Today, 54 years later Cajun Field is now all the way down to -2 ft. At this rate of change it is projected that Cajun Field will be at huge risk as it will drop even lower to -2 ft in just 25 years.

We live on an eons old river delta, of course it will erode. At the same time, new land is appearing south of the basin. It’s nature.
I’ll read through all of this in coming days to see the “green” vs “hazardous” fuel discussion later. Maybe.
We lost power around 3am on Monday and got it back about 3-4pm today. Thank God for gasoline and propane that keeps generators running!
Good news!Quote:

He has a generator back up, so he probably could pull it off.Quote:

ALWAYS follow the money.
Reading this was hilarious. Thanks.Quote:
