If I could hug you and our people there, I surely would. Instead, I've been thinking. In the wake of Katrina, we don't have to perpetuate the horrors. Instead we have an opportunity in New Orleans to accomplish what others have said would be too costly to do due to the fact we'd have to tear down and rebuild a new infrastructure.
You folks can build the first big-scale earth friendly energy center which would use "green" technology. That alone would provide employment and it would be done so in American ethical form.
You could ask the engineers and scientists to step up to the plate and devise an environmentally friendly fuel source that we didn't need to barter or war for. In addition, fuel conversion kits could be made for home and vehicle use and the industries could locate along the gulf states that require rebuilding.
Now is the time to build an infrastructure that will withstand natural catastrophes and will also slow, eventually end, the effects of global warming.
Imagine the jobs to be created here at home in America--living wages jobs for Americans building truly American products. Even the industries could be environmentally friendly.
Where others see blame and no end in sight, I see an opportunity to change our country for the betterment of our universe.
Please, Madam Governor, lead us on. Lead us Louisiana, lead us forward.
My heart's hopes are in your competent hands. God is with you folks.
Sincerely,
Chelle Stockman
