Democrats are contemplating new stimulus package.
This time for a boost to the nation's roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
Ms. Gina McCarthy, Mr. Biden’s national climate adviser, told The Associated Press that the deadly winter storm in Texas should be a “wake-up call” for the need for energy systems and other infrastructure that are more reliable and resilient.
The infrastructure is not built to withstand these extreme weather conditions, said Ms. Liz Sherwood-Randall, a homeland security aide to the president.
“We know that we can’t just react to extreme weather events. We need to plan for them and prepare for them.”
The prospective package adds to the already legislated nearly US $ 4 trillion financial assistance since the beginning of the pandemic.
A White House proposal could come out in March.
