JTN: Hundreds of people protested against a Chinese-owned electric vehicle battery plant being constructed in northern Michigan due to concerns about national security.
“How many abuses have we seen over the years from China? And to think that they will set up a battery factory in our state and they will just play by the rules? That makes no sense whatsoever,” Michigan Republican chair Kristina Karamo said at the protest Saturday, NewsNation reported.
The company, Gotion, plans on building the plant 100 miles from Camp Grayling, where the Taiwanese military is being trained by the Michigan National Guard. MORE
Another EV battery factory not far from where I live. They are already clearing the land.

“A $210 million grant to Ford Motor Co. to build a $3.5 billion, 2,500-job plant in Marshall, an hour and a half West of Detroit. The Michigan Strategic Fund Board last month also awarded the automaker a 15-year tax break worth $772 million for the project and authorized a $36 million loan for the Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance to buy, improve and transfer land. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer last week signed a bill with $630 million to prepare the megasite for Ford.”
Biden will get involved.
Don’t mess with Biden’s 10%.
At least the China Factory will not be spying by Balloons, they’ll be on the ground gathering National Security information on the US. Pretty much like the Chinese “students” at all of our best research Universities.

They must get rid of the reliable energy producers first. Otherwise, these phony products will require government subsidies forever until they come back. I have two Fords. After this news, stop buying them. SEE FURTHER:
Because solar/wind “Green Energy” cannot compete not only against the “low-carbon” energy of nuclear, geothermal, water power and natural gas, it also cannot economically match the power density output nor continuous service of fossil/petroleum fuels, all of these must be completely eliminated and/or never considered for “green energy” to succeed. FGE and the stupid morons behind it, who are the USEFUL IDIOTS of China.
PS, Jason…THANKS, for the update.
