All this stuff was likely just another Leftist kickback from government money scheme.
Just increased the cost of everything while contributing nothing to the public.
Basically to “fix” infrastructure that was already fine to make it environmentally resistant.
If it is just about building for long term use then the future conditions and anticipation of possibilities are just a natural part of the planning, something that one assumes city and states already do when they build infrastructure.
That's pure meaningless gobbledegook. What are they going to do? Build asphalt roads that can survive the day when the sun engulfs planet earth?
That "less vulnerable and more resilient" crap always makes me think of Gabby Johnson's Authentic Frontier Gibberish...
WHICH AUTO PEN SIGNED THOSE MEMOS???
In order to adapt to changing climate, you have to predict what the change will be. If your bridge needs to support the weight of snow and ice, if a runaway cargo ship is going to run in to it, if the amount of water running under it, does it need to be able to support more sunlight. I think the design tolerances should account for some variability in the environment where it exists but planning on glaciers advancing is about the only thing that isn’t already being done. With warming, glaciers won’t be a problem.
What about Pete Buttplug’s Racist Highway Demolition Program?
