I read that article and I can remember as a boy living in Orleans Parish that it would be great having a freshwater lake on our side of the state like Toledo Bend. If I remember corectly the power plant at the dam was suspose to supply electricity for the Disneyworld, that never happened eather.
A lot of negative impacts on us folks further south for some waterfront property in MS.
The mighty Pearl and Lake Ponchartrain will not be the same.
