US emissions drop but everything is made in China now - which runs mainly on coal. It's a zero-sum game.

China seems to find coal cheaper to use than natural gas, and we are preparing to export our coal there.

The invisible hand will step in long before that! If not the invisible hand of the market, the invisible hand of the biosphere.

and the "invisible hand" plays into this how?????..
Marvelous "compartmentalization" there mikemike..............

Navigable waterways, such as the Mississippi river, are under the domain of the federal government, they are responsible for how they are used, dredging, who gets to draw water, etc. The Army Corps of Engineers is the responsible party for building the sill to protect water supplies from saltwater due to low river flow.

The constitution grants federal courts original jurisdiction on admiralty law so I think that is the root of that. It is a matter of contention down here quite often because the Corps dredges the river and just dumps the dredged material into deep gulf waters while the state wants to use that for coastal restoration, LA has even offered to use state funds to pay the difference in cost between doing the cheap thing that the corps does now and the right thing.

Get the "invisible hand" to buy the dirt and influence, fill it in and build condos.... simple.

Then again they couldn't use "OPM"
