This bill rebuilds and modernizes the nation’s infrastructure to expand access to broadband internet, rehabilitate drinking water infrastructure, modernize the electric grid and energy supply infrastructure, redevelop brownfields, strengthen health care infrastructure, create jobs, and protect public health and the environment. To the extent the electricity grid is modernized and made more efficient, the nation can both deploy more renewables and conserve energy overall, thereby reducing emissions from generation.
