How many companies Joe writes a check to will declare bankruptcy next year after cashing the check?

My guess is those that win projects will not be declaring bankruptcy. There is a lot of big projects coming in the next ten years.
File Bankruptcy and you will miss out

weathertutu, we've already estabished that your thread has nothing to do with whether this bipartisan bill actually improves infrastructure in America. It and you, are a troll.

Oh sorry, California. I should have known Democrats would have created an environmental disaster that contaminated your water supply.

Happened under Obama’s watch. Obama Jr will do the same.
That’s why you can’t name one project.

imo it would be best if established utilities would operate the wind generation plants. Shareholders.

reading is hard for people like you, who have no ability at bipartisanship, and merely seek tribal affiliations

Not really

Most infrastructure jobs got completed

I prefer to understand the root cause of why things occur in order to prevent reoccurrence.
In this case, Democrats.

How much of the Biden infrastructure bill went to wind energy?

Right-wingers are being disingenuous about general welfare spending when their general warfare spending is a fiscal black hole.

 

[Winco]

I can’t see one specific thing the money is to be spent on. Just the generic “highways” “bridges” etc.

Where’s the itemized list? They came up with the dollar amount, based upon what?

Which bridges?
Which highways?
What’s their project dates?

What will Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill do?

Here.......I'll give you one, specific plan.
But you will bitch and moan about me giving you EXACTLY what you are asking for.

That's why you are a troll.
So, here you go troll.

Roads, transit, internet: What’s in the infrastructure bill

Perhaps one of the most important local projects to get some of the funding from the bill is the West Seattle Bridge, where repair work is set to begin in just a few weeks.

“We think it’s very important to support the West Seattle Bridge, and we’ve been in touch with the project’s sponsors about how to get it reopened. They indicated that they could make it happen with the funding that we proposed, and we’re excited about that,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Roads and bridges​

The bill provides $110 billion to repair the nation's aging highways, bridges and roads. According to the White House, 173,000 total miles of America's highways and major roads and 45,000 bridges are in poor condition. And the almost $40 billion for bridges is the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system, according to the Biden administration.

Public transit​

The $39 billion for public transit in the legislation expands transportation systems, improves accessibility for people with disabilities and provides dollars to state and local governments to buy zero-emission and low-emission buses. The Department of Transportation estimates that the current repair backlog is more than 24,000 buses, 5,000 rail cars, 200 stations and thousands of miles of track and power systems.

Passenger and freight rail​

To reduce Amtrak's maintenance backlog, which has worsened since Superstorm Sandy nine years ago, the bill provides $66 billion to improve the rail service's 457-mile-long Northeast Corridor as well as other routes. It's less than the $80 billion Mr. Biden — who famously rode Amtrak from Delaware to D.C. during his time in the Senate — originally asked for, but it would be the largest federal investment in passenger rail service since Amtrak was founded 50 years ago.

Electric vehicles​

The bill spends $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging stations, which the administration says are critical to accelerating the use of electric vehicles to curb climate change. It also provides $5 billion for the purchase of electric school buses and hybrids, reducing reliance on school buses that run on diesel fuel.

Internet access​

The legislation's $65 billion for broadband access aims to improve internet services for rural areas, low-income families and tribal communities. Most of the money would be made available through grants to states.

Electric grid​

To protect against the widespread power outages that have become more frequent in recent years, the bill spends $65 billion to improve the reliability and resiliency of the nation's power grid. It also boosts carbon capture technologies and more environmentally-friendly electricity sources like clean hydrogen.

Airports​

The bill spends $25 billion to improve runways, gates and taxiways at airports and to improve terminals. It would also improve infrastructure at air traffic control facilities.

Water and wastewater​

To improve the safety of the nation's drinking water, the legislation will spend $55 billion on water and wastewater infrastructure. The bill includes $15 billion to replace lead pipes and $10 billion to address water contamination from polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS — chemicals that were used in the production of Teflon and have also been used in firefighting foam, water-repellent clothing and many other items.



This is from your article.

I'm not sure how they decide which project to pick or if they give X amount of dollars to every project.

It could just be that they give it to the states and the states decide which projects to spend it on. A percentage would go to roads, another to airports, etc.

According to ARTBA.ORG, there are 231 thousand bridges in need of repair and renovation. The 2020 cost was estimated to be 164 BILLION DOLLARS for just that alone.....Remember the song....They smile in your face....the backstabbers!

More butthurt from Republicans

According to t4america.org/wp-content, Just the current backload of roads in America in poor condition and needing repair would cost 377 BILLION DOLLARS as of 2019.
