I think we could come up with enough "scientific evidence" to prove that
Manatees were responsible for the big blackout.

Well, the Manatee nuts do it.....

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help
section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

All that would have to be done is dump the warm water in the ocean or run
it
through a cooling tower.

The manatee nuts, excuse me "activists", won't hear of that.

It's worse than that. When our electrical plant was refitted to more
efficient
boilers they were not producing enough hot water to insure a good winter
refuge
for the manatee and the huggers insisted that they bring in auxillary
boilers
to heat the water!!
That is a violation of the Endangered Species Act but they do it anyway.
Since they current water is not really that hot it wouldn't be that hard
to
cool it in the winter.
When water gets much below 70f these things will swim away. They just
forgot
how to migrate because of mans activity. I say fix the "root" offending
activity (heating water) and the rest becomes moot.
To the guy who complained about the loss of jobs, how about the loss of
the
boating, dock building and water sport industry?
It is very interesting that the people who worry about the manatee the
most
don't live within 100-1000 miles of them and use their boats wherever they
like. Jimmy Buffett didn't start SMC until he moved to Malibu!
