Fish Dying from Noise
Posted by Peter W. Schramm
Here is another example of environmentalism gone astray: a bridge being built in California could be delayed another two years and cost a $200 million more. It is an interesting and detailed story, worth a read. Of course, what’s another $200 million when the state is already $34.8 billion in the hole.

The title -- "Fish Dying of Noise" -- is a little misleading. It’s not hard-to-sleep-over noise we’re talking about, it’s so-loud-it-bursts-your-stomach noise.
And there’s no evidence this is environmentalism gone astray in the article; if you believe we shouldn’t protect endangered species any measures are too much. If you do, it’s simply a matter of weighing the costs and the benefits.
