I'm waiting for Bill McKibben to say, "OK. Time to cut out all this constrain-the-supply-side nonsense. It's time for a tax on net emissions of CO2!" Maybe when Vermont is totally under water for months. :)
New Orleans is an easy reconstruction case for federal bureaucrats to make, because the actual economic interests of residents are not nearly as compelling as the national infatuation with the city as a living museum of 19th century folklore, architecture, and voyeuristic tourism. Heritage sites are ripe targets for govt largesse, with little accountability for overspending if costs are widely diffused.
