Improve Infrastructure
Advance Improvements to Energy and Infrastructure -Reduced energy burden for the housing market and extended energy access to all homes -Water infrastructure is improved -Reduced climate- health risks and reduced energy costs for participants
-Use a participatory planning process to envision improvements to the energy grid that include general and fire safety, visual attractiveness, distribution along roads to connect to charging stations and train stations -Prioritize infrastructure across workstreams (e.g. making the grid resilient, communicating about: risks/benefits, AC/DC, energy storage, placement, value of accessing idle land to support active rural incomes, consider how to co-locate smart transportation systems along the grid, etc.) -Develop incentives for weatherization adoption (e.g. in the same way NRCS supports farmers with direct payments and technical support for climate-smart practices such as cover crops and nutrient management plans)
-Provide one-on-one technical service
