We don’t need more roads or bridges if we can afford to power our cars.

Infrastucture projects should be for energy producing projects like nuclear power plants. And limited to road construction where current conjestion is so bad that additional roads would reduce fuel consumption.

BINGO!!!

Or projects with safety in mind. There's a bridge to be partially funded with federal dollars on the drawing board here specifically for I-70 over the Mississippi that we've needed for decades and it's just as much a safety issue as fuel consumption. I think the mileage savings is about three, but getting 70 off that bridge is going to save a lot more in repairs as people who don't know how it all is set up get creamed trying to avoid the exit only lanes. That and it will make commutes easier for a lot of people.
