Cops as a Megaproject
Washington ranks last in the country in law enforcement officers per capita. We're going to change that.
We must establish a $100 million grant program to help local law enforcement agencies hire more well-trained officers.

The Line, a Saudi Megaproject, Is Dead
It was always doomed to unravel, but the firms who lent their name to this folly should be held accountable.

Four at-grade infill stations on an existing electrified passenger railway is not a megaproject. Or, it shouldn’t be.

I have a new essay out in a collection by @rooseveltinstitute.org. If we want clean energy industrial strategy, we have to deliver for everybody. We need to approach decarbonization as the biggest megaproject in world history, & ensure it gets done on time. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/buildin...

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.
