Rubber industry associations optimistic about Biden's infrastructure plan Rubber industry associations optimistic about Biden's infrastructure plan Fixing it is half the battle. That's why, when it comes to America's infrastructure, the Biden administration is taking a broad approach. President Biden is calling for investments that not only repair critical components for transportation, water and energy, but modernize and reinforce those areas as well. Doing so, he claims, better prepares the U.S. for next-generation, energy-efficient technology and addresses vulnerabilities exposed by climate change as well racial and socio-economic inequities. The administration also is betting that these investments lead to job creation, and that is why the $2 trillion infrastructure proposal set forth by Biden is dubbed the American Jobs Plan. It's not only an investment in the infrastructure around roads and bridges, homes and businesses, electrical grids and water systems—it's also an investment in manufacturing, job training and education.
