Sure, Madam Chair, through you, regardless of whether our future is a green economy or not, infrastructure is going to be a critical piece of it. Meeting the needs we're going to have for green energy, for solar panels and for EV production, requires not just having the resources of minerals but also the extraction and processing of the minerals on a scale that we haven't seen before. We're talking about an industrial build-out that we haven't seen before, which is why I mentioned that we need to reindustrialize.
Frankly, from a practitioner's perspective, the goals that have been set are not attainable in the current environment. You probably should have started years ago to get there. It's not the popular answer, but that is the reality of it. Yes, you're going to need roads for sure. You're going to need infrastructure. You're going to need power grid updates. You're going to need municipal infrastructures to support communities that are involved where this is going on, and on and on. You are going to need some sort of overarching coordination of all of it, not the individual pieces of it. In order to actually get an overall benefit to the entire system, you have to coordinate all of it together. That's what I refer to when I say “a whole system thinking approach”.
