Worst Yet to Come
Quote: 
"I think the day is coming. I think eventually we're going to have a very powerful hurricane in a major metropolitan area worse than what we saw in Katrina and it's going to be a mega-disaster. With lots of lost lives. ...I don't know whether that's going to be this year or five years from now or a hundred years from now. But as long as we continue to develop the coastline like we are, we're setting up for disaster."
-- Max Mayfield, Director, U.S. National Hurricane Center

Thanks for spreading along the sunshine. Now how bout something a little more upbeat.
Hah! I'll see what I can come up with. For now, how bout this: Shwarzenegger signed the Million Solar Roofs bill into law.
Sometimes the truth just ain't pretty... But there really is a little ray o' sunshine in Mayfield's comment. It's the acknowledgement from someone in the federal government that there's a problem with so much coastal development. Maybe, just maybe, the Bushies will listen. They don't always listen to their own experts, but I'm going to stay upbeat and believe that this time they will...
