FAST FACTS ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE:

• Each year, Americans lose more than $9 billion in productivity from flight delays (Port Authority of NY's/NJ's Flight Delay Task Force Report).

• Ports need to accommodate a near doubling of cargo volumes by 2020, with some ports facing tripling or quadrupling of container volumes moving across their piers (The Chamber's Transportation Challenge: Moving the U.S. Economy study).

• It is estimated that an investment of $148 billion is needed just to keep pace with economic growth and ensure that the freight railroads can carry the volume of freight forecast for 2035 (Association of American Railroads).

• To cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050, the world would need to invest $45 trillion in energy, build some 1,400 nuclear power plants, and vastly expand wind power (International Energy Agency).
