America has set a goal to overtake Asia in the production of lithium-ion batteries. This will be spent $ 2 billion , which is one of the most significant "technological" items of expenditure in the recently adopted plan to stimulate the economy.
According to American economists (and the lobbyists from industrial syndicates such as Boston-Power Inc.) joyfully joining them, the transfer of plants from China to the USA will create a huge number of jobs: for example, each plant with a couple of hundred workers can generate up to 10,000 jobs for account of the entire supply and sales chain.
The energy industry may eventually become the new locomotive of the American economy instead of dying auto production. There is no need to be afraid of competition here, because in the world there are only a couple of large deposits of lithium (that is, salt marshes), and America is quite capable of transferring all production to itself through intergovernmental agreements.
In addition, the same Boston-Power Inc. There are patented technologies for the production of batteries with improved characteristics (they are now put in Hewlett-Packard laptops), so the company is able to crush everyone, even in the open market.
Although funding has already been allocated, specific recipients have not yet been transferred. It is likely that $ 2 billion will not be spent on plant relocation, but on something more useful, such as R&D.
