Doing investments in infrastructure and green energy intelligently and not wastefully.

A very interesting article from U.S. News below on the need to promote upgrades and modernize our nation's infrastructure. What the article, from a conservative no less,  rightfully indicates is that infrastructure projects should mostly be undertaken that fulfill a lasting and necessary need in the local community and provide long-term stable employment. While there is always a need for once in a while projects, local governments should adopt long-term infrastructure plans that rationally move their communities forward in a sensible way. In that sense, bottom-up is a better prescription than top down.
