Okeechobee Algae solution


This situation is now critical and in many views criminal as the army corps pumps known poison into the Atlantic and Gulf causing fish and mammal kills at epic levels.

The solution now is to get the water flowing south as it once did back into the everglades so natural filtration can occur before the water gets to the oceans. The issue is the land between the lake and the everglades is all sugar growing fields and there is major push back on giving up the land.

This solution requires no land buy back and only runs (automatically) when lake levels approach a dangerous level. It provides a secondary safety buffer via a concrete insulating pipe and the entire system can be shut down by stopping a simple pump at any time. It also requires no structural changes to the current dyke and even relieves current pressure on the dyke.

Costs for this system would be minimal and would immediately stop the deliberate destruction of coastal real estate, tourism, businesses, human health and safety and the killing of protected mammals and fish.



Another solution 

Here is something for all Floridians.  This current push for massive solar panels on residential property is ridiculous.  All of us in the boating community know the potential for solar and that it has amazing practical applications without covering your entire roof in something that only works during daylight ours … do you not like AC at night?

Here is how I run AC, all my electrical lawn equipment, my outboard (also electric) and a large 12v fridge of a very inexpensive solar system that I can run day and night keeping one large room comfortable and frozen food and refrigerated food at proper temperatures.  https://bestfavoritesbestof.blogspot.com/2022/07/how-i-am-using-my-solar-set-up-every-day.html
