The first project should be updating and harding our electrical grid. The Pentagon did a study and concluded if we had another Carrington event or an EMP then 90% of the US population would die in 18 months.

This would be very expensive and in my mind far surpasses roads, schools, bridges and everything else. This is the the most important project we can undertake.
