My original point was New Orleans is a major port so we just can't walk
away which you countered by saying it was on #14 using a container shipping numbers.I lost track of whether you are saying I'm full of **** or admitting your are. "Doug Carter" wrote in message ire.net... In article iuYUe.649$YI6.353@trnddc05, sfb wrote: Nice try baby, but your chart is ranked by container shipping. Grain are bulk cargos. Levees are needed to maintain water depth for navigation. Ahhh, try reading the posts. New Orleans is is _not_ an insignificant port overall and _yes_ it is important to grain exports with some nine of the twelve central gulf coast elevators with deep draft channels. This could be why I suggested rebuilding the grain terminals. What fraction, do you suppose, of the now displaced or dead New Orleans population was devoted to grain shipment? |

New Orleans is a major port exporting grain from the Midwest to the world so they just can't walk away. Ports further up the Mississippi are more important for geain shipping. -ash Cthulhu in 2005! Why wait for nature? |

Other than Baton Rouge, what are the deep water ports? Do they have the
capacity to make up for the loss of New Orleans? "Ash Wyllie" wrote in message ... sfb opined New Orleans is a major port exporting grain from the Midwest to the world so they just can't walk away.

"Ash Wyllie" wrote Ports further up the Mississippi are more important for geain shipping. Nope, for the reason that all grain further up must first be loaded onto barges, then transferred to freighters at N.O. My suggestion? We need to keep the port open, and other industry in the area that can't be moved, and French quarter, and perhaps some of the other historic areas, but let the rest revert back. Put in a good mass transit line to the area, from a "new" New Orleans, further up the river. -- Jim in NC |

I say build all houses in NO a la houseboat style and tug tow them away
or just let them float in place with retractable angkors to accomodate water level. Just another one of my 'will never work' ideas. OK guys, I got my deflector beanie hat on this time so I'm thinking clear w/o outside influence. : -) Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone http://zapatopi.net/afdb/ ---make your own deflector beanie hat. |

Put in a good mass transit line to the area, from a "new" New Orleans, further up the river. That is likely to be the natural result. Maney of the relocated are likely to stay where they are. That is , unless governments rebuild the whole city. -ash Cthulhu in 2005! Why wait for nature? |
