Is clean energy & smart infrastructure our economic salvation?
What does History says? Yes, infrastructure investments help the economy? Just like the works projects during the Great Depression
Can these investments protect us? Yes.
- We can protect our energy resiliency by employing workers, investing in American technology, and investing in technology that protects us against future volatility from international energy markets.
- Just like in 2008 during the Great recession, the Smart Grid Investment Program leveraged more than $9.5 billion in industry capital to strengthen cybersecurity, reduce operating costs, and develop new energy management innovation.
- Just look at the ROI when 2008 stimulus helped auto manufacturers in 2020, those manufacturers adapted facilities to make ventilators
