02/18/22
“Why is flood risk assessment subsidization for working-class people so important?”
Flood risk assessments are extremely important for the new climate paradigm. More and more properties are becoming at risk, and we will have to work to assess what is most in danger. However, flood risk assessments can be expensive for many people who live paycheck-to-paycheck. Since these people are often hit disproportionately and dangerously by floods, governments and organizations should look into subsidizing flood risk assessments. This is why Flood Risk Assessment Subsidization is so important.

“How could we assign a carbon cost to war?”
War takes up gargantuan amounts of energy and resources, which in turn leads to CO2 emissions. Since governments preparing for war are also looking into quantifying how sustainable their actions are, they should quantify how much CO2 would be emitted if they begin fighting. This Carbon Cost of War must become more important for making drastic decisions.

Why Universities Should Strive to Build More Student Housing
02/14/22
“Why should universities strive to build more student housing?”
Universities should act as the beacon of learning and offer the next generation of students a chance to better the world. However, as populations grow, so will demand for higher education. This will cause more people to want to live near their chosen schools, which puts pressure to house these people. If universities cannot provide adequate supply, then it fails the people it is supposed to serve. Instead, universities should look to expand housing options for enrollees and make things better. This is Why Universities Should Strive to Build More Student Housing.
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction
02/13/22
“How can utilities be compensated for costs incurred while building new facilities?”
Utilities spend money to create new facilities all the time. However, these processes can be very expensive and will not produce a return until the asset is completed. So what can we do to ensure that utilities earn enough return to keep operations going? Well, what if we were to compensate a utility for the amount of loans and equity they use to create the project and multiply it by the amount spent during construction monthly? Well, this concept is called Allowance for Funds Used During Construction and is applied to utilities to make sure that they are able to complete projects on time.
Why Giving Wealthy Landowners Too Much Power Over Infrastructure Decisions Can Destroy Transit Accessibility
02/12/22
“Why would giving wealthy land-owners too much power over infrastructure decisions destroy transit accessibility?”
In many countries such as the United States and Canada, landowners (as long as they’re white) can make public comments over infrastructure proposals that run near or through their properties. Oftentimes, these people do not have the public’s interest at heart and can cause projects to be stopped for nefarious reasons. This leads to delays, cost overruns, and functionality downgrades in transit projects. This is Why Giving Wealthy Landowners Too Much Power Over Infrastructure Decisions Can Destroy Transit Accessibility.
