We can’t keep our existing infrastructure in shape.

Sorry, won’t work. L1 is unstable, and it would need a lot of energy to heep anything parked there from falling elsewhere.

We need to start with hardening the power grid.
At the very least, we need to be able to repair it after another Carrington Event. We also need to secure it against cyber warfare - if possible take it completely off the Internet.

Infrastructure is important but risky.
Disruptive technology, economic, and political changes can obliterate infrastructure investments that were designed and built to last a century.

We need someone with a vision like Eisenhower had for the interstate system, someone who also has the will and the leadership to be savvy enough to push people to spend the capital required for a major infrastructure project, said Henry Petroski, author of The Road Taken: The History and Future of Americas Infrastructure and a professor of civil engineering and history at Duke University. It takes someone passionate and dedicated to implement the technology that exists and other innovations on the horizon...he said, and probably voted against Trump, the builder.
