First come the blasts: The thunderous sounds of more than 100 tons of explosives ripping through tightly packed soil. Then, the water — more than 2,500 acres flooded in less than an hour. This isn't a scene from a Hollywood blockbuster. It's the latest step in The Nature Conservancy's efforts to restore wetlands on its Williamston River Delta Preserve in southern Oregon.

Adding a significant tax on gasoline, and using that money only to subsidize the purchase of clean and fuel efficient cars will solve two major problems. The worlds car manufactures would follow the demand and make a huge shift to producing the most subsidized cars. The US would quickly reduce our oil imports. Help to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Actually they didn't blow up nature, but rather they blew up man made levees which changed the face and course of nature.

Fotiphoto Your response is crude, mannerless, no substance to either negate or support my response. Basically you are a Venomous Vermin, A Maggot making pathetic scumbag comments. I am sure your Mother did not teach you manners when you were a kid.

Reply Ghettoghangster People like you do not deserve to come in the category of humans...(your lack of class, culture, your userid, show who you are and not what is really going on.....I would rather support a Volcano than someone like who spews acidic nonsense for no rhyme or reason. You are so despicable with your remarks that other youtubers have better regards4 people who atleast deny truth even though it is right in front of their eyes. Making SCUMBAG comments shows your Character. PityU
