What's in the infrastructure bill?
We'll wait.
mostly money for highways https://t4america.org/iija/
As i read it, that says 2/3 of 54% is surface transportation, including rail and bridges etc. so roughly $425B out of 1.2T. So, not mostly highways.
A plurality for highways. By a large margin the largest recipient of funds from the bill.
Had to look it up. So you agree you were mistaken that it was “mostly” or all related to fossil-fuel vehicle infrastructure? Or at least it’s not mostly highways then?
Plurality also means receiving the most out of all recipients but without receiving a majority. Like our elections.
There was some stuff for rehabilitating our rail corridors. Not enough, of course, but it was there.
oh sure there's things in it that could be considered beneficial to the climate. all vastly outweighed by the climate damage of the hundreds of billions going to highways.
It's the infrastructure bill, not the climate change bill. Which, btw, Biden passed the largest climate change bill in world history but you just keep trying to convince people that Biden bad.
It is a climate change bill, its accelerating climate change.
Dont worry i know about that other bill too, the one that opened up millions of acres of new oil drilling
