The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said on Friday it anticipates opening the Morganza Spillway on the western bank of the swollen Mississippi River to divert floodwaters into theAtchafalaya River basin and protect Baton Rouge, Louisiana, New Orleans and refineries from flooding.

It appears that not only are refineries in danger, but three nuclear power plants are also in danger of being flooded:

Early on (Katrina) there was speculation it was to get rid of the poor so land developers could grab land cheap.  The oil spill puts fisherman out of business, it is also contributing to the growing food shortage, along with losing croplands in the Mississippi delta area.
