Significance
In the House of Representatives, Democratic leader (and prospective candidate for speaker) Nancy Pelosi has said that infrastructure development -- something that Republican President Donald Trump wants -- is an area where both parties could cooperate in 2019.
Impacts
Carbon emissions will grow fastest in areas that have poor public transit and high housing costs, such as northern California.
Oil infrastructure bottlenecks will not be fully addressed until 2020, limiting exports especially from Texas’s Permian basin.
At the local level, especially urban areas, major public-private partnership-financed projects will happen, driving policy changes.
