I would just briefly agree with the comments, but with one add-on. We talked about externalities earlier. One of the problems with measures of economic growth in terms of GDP is that the latter doesn't properly capture externalities. There is a growing body of research and publications around the notion of how you “value in”, essentially, investments in what will address things like carbon emissions in a way that works in the national accounts.
You're absolutely right; the private sector believes in investing, and those same investments, when government makes them, are sometimes described as costs, but they're actually...or certain types of those can be investments in the transition in working with the private sector to move in the right direction.
