The Biden administration is under fire for prioritizing equity, inclusion and climate change in choosing which infrastructure projects to fund nationwide.
I’m torn. It’s the federal’s money to do with as they wish and it’s a fair stipulation, but highway infrastructure is not in a good state and adding stipulations when it’s not in a good state is just making it worse.
Fix the infrastructure in accordance with “the green stipulation” and the feds fund it. And it starts asap. Then the roads are fixed AND it’s done in a way that doesn’t make our climate issues worse.

Right? Isn’t that a simple solution?

Everyone wins.
Why not support this?
Just takes more time and money, but yeah. Now that I’ve thought about it for a few days, it makes sense.
The only thing stopping it from being done is the current state government, though. The money is there as long as they do it the proper way.
