China warns U.S. about domestic EV battery production...

And to think that some patriotic American politician set all this in play so the US could slide backwards. I need a windshield for my pickup and it's amazing how tough it is to get one NOT made in China. Chuck Fina !!

Dell came into NC about 15 - 20 years ago under incentives, closed the plant 2 years later, had to pay all of the incentives back. Hopefully it set a precedent.
 
If I was a car manufacturer I wouldn't be putting all my eggs in the green energy basket. Our supposed leadership is trying to crame EV's down our throats without thinking things through. In the long run going to EV's to me is going to be a big mistake and if we have to depend on China for the minerals to make the batteries that will be the start of it.
