Quick Glance: Talks Cease on Bringing Capitals and Wizards to Virginia
- Negotiations to lure the NHL's Washington Capitals and the NBA's Washington Wizards to Northern Virginia have officially ended, as the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams will not move forward, as announced by the city of Alexandria on Wednesday.
- Virginia's House speaker also confirmed that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering relocating them from the District of Columbia.
- The city expressed disappointment in the outcome, emphasizing that they negotiated a framework for this opportunity in good faith and participated in the process in Richmond to preserve their integrity.
- Governor Youngkin and Leonsis announced in December at a public event that they had reached an understanding on the outlines of a plan calling for a new $2 billion development district with a new arena in Alexandria, just a few miles from where the teams currently play.
The Alexandria, Virginia native also earned the honor during his time with the Michigan Wolverines. Show more

Quick Glance: Reassessing the Impact of Children on the Planet
- In recent years, concern for the planet has led some people to decide not to have children. However, a 2017 study shows that this is not the most efficient way to reduce emissions.
- Emission reduction from additional children can be significantly minimized through government policies. Future generations could benefit from strict climate targets.
- Focusing on strong climate policies is more important than debating the impact of children on the planet. Political resistance is one of the biggest threats to effective climate actions.
- The personal decision to have a child should be viewed in relation to larger actors like governments and corporations in terms of emission reduction. An individual contribution can influence long-term emission goals.
