Manufacturing Capital Is Committing. Infrastructure Is Not Keeping Up.
A concentrated wave of industrial capital is entering the ground across North American manufacturing corridors — OEM greenfields, defense builds, hard-tech campuses, reshoring platforms — while the grid interconnection queues, transformer supply chains, and water systems those commitments require remain years behind the demand they are absorbing. This is not a funding story. It is an execution-risk story. Capital conviction is running ahead of the physical infrastructure capacity needed to convert that conviction into operating facilities on schedule.
