The US Needs Smarter Infrastructure Spending and Better Communication

The recent spate of cold weather, which crippled Texas’ energy and water infrastructure, has put a spotlight on ageing US infrastructure systems. DJ Gribbin, Senior Operating Partner at private equity firm Stonepeak helps us understand why the US underinvests in public infrastructure, the complexities of federal and state spending, and whether President Joe Biden will make headway in pushing his infrastructure bill.
