The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.  The host for this show is Mitch Ewan.  The guest is Adam Strubeck.  

The discussion introduces the Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that provides for $550 Billion in new federal investment in America’s infrastructure and what its benefits could be for Hawaii.  It also projects to add 2 million jobs per year nationally over the next decade.  This legislation provides a combination of grants and loans to support reliability and resilience of the electrical grid, domestic clean energy supply chains, and develop new energy technology. Projected spending for Hawaii includes $1.5 billion over 5 years for highways and bridges, $100 million for high-speed internet coverage, $316 million for public transport, and $18 million for electric vehicle charging.  HNEI has distilled out the major highlights  from the bill to make it easier to follow and has included a user-friendly summary on the HNEI Hawaii Energy Policy Forum Website.
