- invest in critical infrastructure to reduce energy waste and bolster investment in clean energy jobs and industries;
- invest in clean energy technologies that help free the United States from its dependence on oil;

- spur innovation by facilitating the development of new cutting-edge broadband internet technology and improving internet access for all Americans;
- modernize, renovate, and repair elementary and secondary school buildings in order to support improved educational outcomes;
- invest in the nation's crumbling water infrastructure to protect public health and reduce pollution;
