Yeah; it's a good start.

As per the third paragraph of the article: "In New York, Algonquin Power won a $42.9 million grant to install devices that automatically redeploy power when lines are overloaded. Virginia’s Dominion Energy won $33.7 million for a project that includes devices that will let it adjust power distribution in response to changing conditions on the grid. The funds are part of a $3.5 billion program for grid-boosting projects the Energy Department rolled out in October."

To save you a few clicks, that program is funded by the bill in question, as per https://www.energy.gov/gdo/grid-resilience-and-innovation-pa...

When you adjust for inflation, the price tag of the 2021 infrastructure bill is twice the construction cost of the entire Interstate Highway System. Are we getting two entire Interstate Highway Systems worth of infrastructure for our money? If not, I think that's the first problem that needs to be solved.
