“Inflation is falling mostly because energy prices are down, a trend that will not last for ever. Underlying or “core” inflation is more stubborn (see chart 1). History suggests that even a small amount of sticky underlying inflation is hard to dislodge.”

Maybe look for ways to increase supply of the things with high prices? Energy infrastructure could absolutely reinforce lowered energy prices. Helping electrification along through many means would too-grid investments and modernization, battery factories, new/opening shuttered mines (more of a regulation or economic response than large governmental project).
