The video's split - screen images patiently pull you from one continent to the other — sailing by massive
piles of sand, windmills and smoke - billowing
factories at the Dutch port
of Ijmuiden,
out onto the open sea and finally through the Saint - Lawrence to Cleveland.
If there was any infrastructure investment to be made right now, I would have thought it would be to set up a
pile of cross laminated timber
factories fast, and put people to work churning
out panels at a standard size and stockpiling them; CLT is strong, fire resistant, it sequesters carbon dioxide and it makes very pretty buildings.
