Gotion to move forward on $2.4B battery plant near Big Rapids after national security review

We are having a sort of LFP battery production boom here in Michigan so it seems.

Ford is building a LFP plant with CATL IP: https://eu.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/03/02/michigan-legislature-oks-more-incentives-ford-battery-plant-marshall/69961540007/

And Our Next Energy (ONE) is doing so also (and I believe just doubled? their previous capacity plan): https://www.autonews.com/suppliers/inside-our-next-energys-battery-plants

It is OK to see, but in my view, Detroit and Michigan do need to move aggressively away from automotive manufacturing as a dominant economic force in the state.

It is holding us back.

ONE, at least, has plans for ESS systems production which does do that... ever so slightly.
