a lot of that is underinsured. the next time there is a disaster, it's not going to cover enough. if you look at that coastline definitely ereading away. here's what it looks like today currently, but let's say it was to go 20 feet. this will take us, you know, a couple centuries but look at how much which florida and louisiana, especially we lose under all of that. if we were just talking about that one specific power plant but there's a number of different energy resources along the coastline so every dot you see there is a different energy facility below four feet and that is possible by the end of this century with water expected to rise two to five feet and that doesn't include storm surge or, you know with a hurricane coming in or those higher tides so there is a lot of not only property, but a lot of our energy facilities that are threatened as those waters rise. >> they have time to figure this out. ok, nicole mitchell, thank you. >> up next through the lens, one of our generations defining war photographers on her experience covering conflicts. >> welcome to al jazeera am

the republican plan would cause tens of millions of people to become uninsured or underinsured and i know how you're careful to even talk about that. in other words, if we're going to repeal the affordable care act, make sure you put in a sentence about what we need to do about those people who have preconditions. phony, phony phony. you said it. we didn't. slashing funding for education, for research, for infrastructure. wait until the bridges fall down and more people fall into the water. cuts to nutrition. cuts to health. that will only increase poverty. your claims that this budget balances is a total farce. not a semifarce a total farce. congressman van hollen produced a very strong, fair budget. it was a strong budget it was dismissed. but i like it. i like it. i like it when we are seen as irrelevant. we do our best work. so that's what you got in front of you. this budget, while calling for a complete and total repeal of the affordable care act continues to assume the law's $2 trillion revenue. that's not a farce. that's fantasy football. how could you do that? the bills -- b
