When you start building roads and bridges you also crank up the heavy
equipment factories, the cement plants and the steel fabricators.
There are also other infrastructure items like our failing sewer

We would put a lot of people to work if this wind generation scheme

You might want to try and avoid using it. In this case "the" seems to be the
