The World’s Largest Owner of Global Infrastructure is Broke Like Me, which must Explain the Lousy Data Entry ….
Sort of a fun post. Only the material isn’t really that funny because it’s real money — well, real US$$ — involved.
But as I’ve pointed out before, the “Bentley 500” does indeed state that the USA IS the world’s largest owner of global infrastructure,
Bentley Systems has compiled the Bentley Infrastructure 500 to help global constituents appreciate and explore the magnitude of investment in infrastructure and the potential to continually increase the return on that investment. The infrastructure value represented is over US$14 trillion, which is close to the U.S. annual GDP and to the combined annual GDPs of China, Japan, and Germany. Bentley itself is committed to enhancing ROIs through leveraging information modeling in integrated projects to create more intelligent infrastructure on behalf of owner organizations.
Data Results for 2011
Top 10 [INFRASTRUCTURE] Owners in the Bentley Infrastructure 500
| Rank | Organization | Headquarters Country | Infrastructure Value* (millions USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT | United States | 308,800 |
| 2 | STATE GRID CORPORATION OF CHINA | China | 209,727 |
| 3 | EXXON MOBIL CORP | United States | 199,548 |
| 4 | OPEN JOINT STOCK COMPANY GAZPROM | Russia | 180,019 |
| 5 | PETROLEO BRASILEIRO S.A. – PETROBRAS | Brazil | 167,777 |
| 6 | ELECTRICITE DE FRANCE SA – EDF | France | 143,241 |
| 7 | NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION | Japan | 119,098 |
| 8 | KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS | Netherlands | 117,060 |
| 9 | ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC | Netherlands | 116,851 |
| 10 | WAL MART STORES INC | United States | 107,878 |
which would seem obvious — it’s the world’s largest per-capita jailor, right? and housing them requires a little real estate and infrastructure, right? — but how does this fit with also being hugely in debt if we own (well, the US owns) all that STUFF (dams, public projects real estate, utilities, etc.)….
And how can I explain for such a major investor, the not very intelligent infrastructure of the HHS database, TAGGS? Can’t they afford proofreaders or spellcheck software? Or maybe whoever does data entry needs regular lunch breaks. Or maybe things like this happen right after a too-long, too-liquid lunch break…. a LOT….

By the way, here is another grant award, same recipient, and these are the ONLY two direct HHS grants showing here for this recipient. Both had grant title mis-spelled.. TAGGS database goes back, FYI, to 1995. The National Fatherhood Initiative was formed in 1994 in part with (news says) an HHS grant steered towards it by then-HHS employee, Wade Horn, and the website at least at one time boasted it was formed by “A Few Prominent Thinkers;” to this day it has Congressional Task Force members (as in, U.S. Congress)….

Or, after three years of attempting to spell the name “Christopher” they gave up and switched Principal Investigator to someone whose name was within range of the 90FB (Faith-based?) community’s spelling

NEXT: SECTION ON NONPROFIT “INST FOR RESPONSIBLE FATHERHOOD….”
Here’s a spinoff? group with grants which bear the word “replication” and “evaluation” in them, but over an eight-year period, never got a DUNS# entered. I enclosed a few of its grants underneath the “Dun & Bradstreet Disclaimer” here. This group shows a total of $2.5 million grants — but got its nonprofit status revoked in 2010 for failure to file for more than three years in a row. And the board of directors on this one includes the “Who’s Who” among the field of fatherhood promotion, too!
Recipient EIN = 521867708
Showing: 1 – 1 of 1 Recipients
Note: One EIN can be associated with several different organizations. Also, one DUNS number can be associated with multiple EINs. This occurs in cases where Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) has assigned more than one EIN to a recipient organization.
