Comments for Poll: Americans want feds to restore wetlands at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.theind.com Mon, 20 May 2013 12:59:57 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8919-poll-americans-want-feds-to-restore-wetlands#comment-21487 They forgot to ask the most revealing question: "How much additional tax would YOU be willing to pay to restore and protect the Gulf Coast." Also, the poll does not define what is meant by restoration and assumes that coastal restoration is doable. The state is still struggling to detemine these "details" after more than 30 years of various efforts and programs to "save the coast." BTW, there is no such thing as energy E & P within wetlands that results in no net loss of wetland habitat. The Louisiana coast demonstrates that beyond any doubt. - coastcaster Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:57:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8919-poll-americans-want-feds-to-restore-wetlands#comment-21474 Louisiana would receive the same share of royalties from offshore waters off our coast as Texas does off theirs and other states receive from federal lands, we would have the money to restore our own coast. Unfortunately, politicians and Presidents on boths sides of the aisle have fought against such revisions. - RCajunrunner Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:25:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8919-poll-americans-want-feds-to-restore-wetlands#comment-21472 Poll this, Poll that.
