This one South of Mexico is expected to jump over into the Gulf and possibly get to be a named storm. The locals started watching this yesterday.

I can never seem to get an accurate figure on this, but what is spent by the Feds to keep these navigable rivers open for shipping is mind-blowing. I think I once saw $70 Million per year for the Mississippi alone.

Add in the offshoots and the TVA and jeez, it's a lot.

I bet the difference would pay for shipping via rail, and then some, and do a lot for the environment.

I'm guessing throwing 70 mill to Warren Buffet wouldn't handle all the barge traffic tonnage on the Mississippi

I get what you’re saying, but TVA doesn’t handle navigation on the Tennessee River. The Corps of Engineers handles that.

$70 mil for the Mississip?  Sounds like a bargain to me.

I know. I was talking about the system itself. We have the Mississippi system and the TVA system.
