U.S. Pledge To Triple Global Nuclear Energy By 2050 (www.huffpost.com)

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.

Actual genuine question here. Has any US administration made a decades long plan like this, announced it to the public, and then a future administration saw said plan through to fruition?

Yes.

Unfortunately, said plan was dismantling the railroads in favor of the Interstate Highway System.

I believe both exiting Iraq and Afghanistan qualify.

Maybe not exactly what you're getting at though

Maybe the panama canal? The Hoover Dam? But yea not much, the US hasn't done large projects like that since private interests figured out they could milk huge sums of money by contracting and never delivering anything.
