建立一个更好的美国建立两党基础设施法.pdf

The passage outlines the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) passed in October 2022, which aims to deliver various improvements in the United States. Key points include: - Delivering clean water to millions of households and schools, replacing all lead pipes and service lines. - Ensuring every American has access to reliable, affordable high-speed internet. - Building a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations. - Rebuilding the nation's significant bridges and 15,000 smaller bridges across the country. - Making the largest investment in public transit and rail since Amtrak's creation. - Making communities safer and more resilient to climate change and other threats. - Building new transmission power lines to facilitate the expansion of renewable energy. As for implementation, the government has launched the "Building A Better America" brand and build.gov, a repository for BIL-related information. Over $115 billion in funding has been allocated for more than 5,000 projects across all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The vision and values for implementation include investing public dollars wisely, buying American, creating good-paying jobs, investing equitably, building resilient infrastructure, and coordinating with state and local governments. The law also emphasizes priorities such as electrifying and decarbonizing the transportation sector, deploying clean energy technologies, and making communities more resilient. Significant investments are allocated for clean transit, EV charging, battery manufacturing, and critical minerals. The impact is already visible, with EV sales tripling since President Biden took office and significant domestic EV manufacturing and battery announcements. Furthermore, the broader vision on climate includes the Inflation Reduction Act, executive and regulatory actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide tax credits for clean energy technologies, and advance environmental justice. The law also fast-tracks solar and wind projects and sets strong vehicle emissions standards, aiming for 50% EV sales by 2030 and strong standards for super-pollutants like methane.
