Big Oil asks for 12 billion dollars from taxpayers to protect refineries from climate change.

[JLW]

As the nation plans new defenses against the more powerful storms and higher tides expected from climate change, one project stands out: an ambitious proposal to build a nearly 60-mile "spine" of concrete seawalls, earthen barriers, floating gates and steel levees on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Texas is seeking at least $12 billion for the full coastal spine, with nearly all of it coming from public funds. Last month, the government fast-tracked an initial $3.9 billion for three separate, smaller storm barrier projects that would specifically protect oil facilities.

Hurricanes are climate change huh?

How is it possible to protect oil refineries from the (yet unproven) theory of man made climate change? It doesn't even make sense.
