Powering up the US EV battery manufacturing boom in Michigan

Green tech, mining and energy company Fortescue announced in January that it plans to create an advanced manufacturing hub in Detroit, joining a host of companies starting up or expanding EV battery production facilities around the US.   What does Fortescue’s announcement mean for the Michigan EV battery supply chain, and how is the state working to encourage similar projects? How do investments in US EV battery production stack up against those around the world?  Energy Evolution correspondent Camellia Moors spoke with guests Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and President and Chair of the Michigan Strategic Fund, and Nick Nigro, founder of data-driven research and advisory group Atlas Public Policy.  Tune in to Energy Evolution to stay up to date on the energy transition and its implications.
