infrastructure it's our roads bridges

00:06

dams levees airports power grids

00:08

basically anything that can be destroyed

00:10

in an action movie

00:18

[Applause]

00:28

[Applause]

00:31

we if an alien species judged

00:35

humanity by our most popular movies

00:37

they'd think we were furious with

00:38

asphalt all the time the problem is

00:42

though when our infrastructure is not

00:43

being destroyed by robots and or saved

00:46

by Bruce Willis we tend to find it a bit

00:49

boring as you know infrastructure is not

00:52

a sexy or glamorous topic as much as I'd

00:54

like to think otherwise infrastructure

00:57

is not sexy infrastructure is not very

00:59

sexy

00:59

yes infrastructure like those men we

01:02

just heard from is important but not

01:05

sexy although to be fair that may just

01:09

be because Hollywood promotes

01:10

unrealistic standards of infrastructure

01:12

beauty that's not what a real Road looks

01:14

like real roads had curves so most most

01:20

people think infrastructure for I think

01:23

it's boring but but is it because I'd

01:26

argue that it's actually pretty

01:27

fascinating and I know that in saying

01:29

that I've basically become the rad youth

01:31

counselor trying to convince you that

01:33

Jesus was the Taylor Swift of his time

01:36

revelations is a breakup song to the

01:38

Romans guys who want another Mountain

01:39

Dew catch so let's talk about

01:43

infrastructure tonight and let's begin

01:45

with dams because dams are amazing

01:48

they're the most powerful device we have

01:49

for holding back liquid aside from the

01:52

idea of using a porta potti oh wait I'll

01:55

just wait forever

01:57

I cannot go in there America used to

02:00

love dams Grand Coulee Dam in Washington

02:04

State

02:05

biggest concrete structure Boulder Dam

02:07

stands today a modern Colossus the walls

02:10

of the new dam tower into the sky like

02:12

mighty modern pyramid yes and we built

02:15

those dams with ingenuity and brawn and

02:18

of course piles and piles of dead Irish

02:21

that of course we did they're good

02:23

workers and their corpses make a solid

02:25

foundation material that's an

02:26

architectural fact but these days

02:30

America's wants great dam system is in a

02:33

state of serious disrepair the average

02:35

age of the country's 84,000 dams is 52

02:38

years and many of them have problems

02:40

that stem from when they were first

02:42

built yes much like most Botox

02:45

recipients and competitive cloggers the

02:47

average Dam is 52 years old and probably

02:49

has something deeply broken inside of it

02:51

you would think a statistic like that

02:55

would terrify people into action but

02:57

amazingly many states are paying

02:59

virtually no attention to their dam

03:01

problems in 2007 the last year for which

03:05

statistics are available Texas had just

03:08

seven inspectors responsible for seventy

03:11

four hundred dams that's over 1,050 dams

03:15

per inspector the state was only able to

03:18

look at 239 dams Alabama doesn't even

03:22

have an Inspection Agency to monitor its

03:24

2,000 plus dams zero inspectors that

03:29

means that the state of Alabama has

03:31

exactly the same number of damaged

03:33

Spector's as the banned Alabama and it's

03:36

not just dams we're currently doing a

03:38

terrible job of maintaining all of our

03:41

infrastructure the nation's

03:43

infrastructure and bridges roads and

03:45

pipelines is sorely in need of

03:47

renovation collectively they get nothing

03:49

more than a d+ a d+ think about that

03:54

America got the same grade that a 10th

03:56

grade teacher gives a nightmare kid so

03:59

she doesn't have to deal with him for

04:00

another year

04:00

no no London we're not calculating the

04:03

surface area of our penises just give

04:05

him a d+ and say has family troubles I

04:07

cannot even deal with that again

04:10

and look to be fair that deep last grade

04:13

came from the American Society of Civil
