    Yeah, in fact it’s almost trivial to argue that education in something you’re interested in results in better/more efficient infrastructure.

    As an example, California uses loops of wire embedded in the asphalt at lights to sense if cars are there, meaning less delays for people because no light is green at an empty direction of an intersection.

    Though that’s only mildly high tech, some educated electrical engineers had to come up with it, and it makes life better for us all, saving gas, and reduces CO2 for idling cars as well.
