Well, in my primary area of work around the climate crisis I think about this quite a bit. We've had decades of delay and inaction at the federal level in the face of the climate crisis. It happens in the context of the CIB looking at P3s and privatization, when the P3 and privatization projects that come along with them take so much longer at a time when the urgency of the climate crisis just doesn't allow us to take as long as we feel we want to take. We really need, then, to be talking about the opportunity cost and the opportunities lost by engaging in P3s for infrastructure instead of in public financing as part of the way we tackle the climate crisis.
