The jokes just write themselves...

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL), the biggest battery maker for electric vehicles and a supplier of Tesla, and others, is postponing the announcement of a multi-billion investment in North America as the U.S.-Chinese relations further soured with the visit of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
CATL was prepared to announce plans for an EV battery manufacturing site in North America, but has now delayed that announcement, sources with knowledge of the developments have told Bloomberg.

I'm sure it'll get built eventually, China needs our money, but for now, hehehe..

WHY do.we let ourselves be held hostage to hostile nations for our critical needs?

Oh, I forgot...

$$$

Taiwan will pay the price for this stunt.

The US will pick up the bill for Taiwan.

Keith

Won't be a tab to pick up,

Timing suspect, too with her husband's DUI trial today.
Turns out, accident was way worse than reported, alcohol and drugs.

Judge was replaced yesterday, no cameras, no recording.

Lady Libery is peeking...

yahoo we can keep making gas cars

scrap ev plans

start making more CNG cars they are better for the environment any way

China already sent fighter jets into their airspace.

The Schumer-Manchin bill being pushed through right now has a big tax on natural gas.

They do it quite often. A while back they did over 50 time in one day.

its just not even critical stuff.

And the biggest one to blame is ourselves. Americans cut their own throats every day when buying anything made in China.

China is not our friend, they actively work at damaging America.

If I were a small flag making business I would start making CCP flags with hold for Taiwan written on the boxes. I see money to be made here.

We can give them China more oil to help cut our pollution and we won't need batteries.

Well now the demonrats have to scrap the electric car/ truck thing now.

Trump was trying to reverse this.

We don't need EVs when in the end propane or natural gas is better for the environment if that's what this EV hysteria is really all about.

All our city buses proudly display on each side they are fueled by propane because it's so environmental friendly.
Somewhere I read that we can mine natural gas in the US for the next 100+ years. It's that available.

Without getting political, the current admin, along with Senator Schumer, REMOVED the measures to thwart Chinese espionage/ theft of technology at our universities that the prior admin put in place.

All by design...

Our government/agencies are so corrupt that if we knew the extent of it even people like me would be amazed at what is going on..

So china is the only place that knows how to make batteries.LOLThey dont even know how to tan a beaver pelt correctly.
I would take a battery from anywhere other than china-they make crap.
Thats the trouble with Penal Labour-no quality control.

Just wait, they might decide to cancel chip orders next. Then we won’t have any gas vehicles either.

The chip thing we can work around given a bit of time. The batterie situation is more difficult as we don't have the raw materials. Afghanistan has a bunch of the stuff thats needed to make them but .... well need I say more.
My conspiracy theory tin foil hat does not seem to look quite as silly these days. In fact I may become a fashion statement like a baseball cap
