several dams on the east coast of the US at extremely obvious points to prevent flooding
it's a bad idea because New York City doesn't fucking deserve it and the entire climate-denial political class (which is the entire political class) would raise fascist hell to prevent their own fucking homes from being embraced by the sea
bastards won't build an eighth of the infrastructure the fucking dutch have for a (NYC metro) population larger than the entire fucking country of the netherlands
I assume you're talking about damming the Hudson? I feel like this is a bad idea because the Hudson is an estuary. I don't know much about dams but would a dam fuck up that ecosystem? There are no dams on the Hudson below where it becomes estuarial.
used the word "dam" but flood control works like that aren't proper block-all-the-water dams
still fucks up the ecosystem but prbably less than displscing millions of people and submerging tons of industrial waste
oh ok gotcha
