Who Will Rebuild After Hurricane Climate Change?
Gregory Wrightstone
My statement for NewsMax on Hurricane Ian:
As the owner of a home 20 miles south of Tampa and having our family evacuated on Sunday, I know better than most how this major hurricane impacts the local population. I also know that this storm is not caused by global warming or increasing levels of carbon dioxide. I am angered that politicians would use the misfortune and dangers to me and my neighbors to advance a climate agenda that will cause much more economic destruction than this storm. Our family can restore and rebuild after the storm if needed, but can America rebuild after this administration intentionally destroys our energy sector and economy?

You have not experienced the best that a hurricane has to offer until you have ridden one out on board a 300' long 1800 ton ship, which I assure you is a very small ship.
For reasons that take too long to tell, a diesel submarine could not simply dive in very heavy weather. (Actually, we could dive but then we might not be able to surface.) Fortunately, when "rigged for surface running,†such a boat is very nearly unsinkable. We could take 90-degree rolls and recover, and I believe we did a few times.
Being unsinkable does not mean it was comfortable, or that it did not scare the crap out of most of us.

That must have been a horrifying experience Bill! If not plain terrifying it must have made even the most seasoned submariners sick. I can't imagine that!
