Will EVs Ruin The Midwest Economy?
142,243 views Sep 4, 2022 After manufacturing's 40-year cycle of decline in the U.S., officials in Washington are trying to bring it back. This move could be a boom or bust for huge swaths of the American Midwest. This region once dominated the auto industry before rising global trade and automation sent domestic manufacturing employment into a tailspin. U.S. leaders hope that new laws such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will help businesses create the green manufacturing jobs of the future.

Researchers believe modern factory jobs will require more education and could be less available than they were in the past. They estimate that electric vehicles could require 30% less manufacturing labor when compared with conventional cars. "The lines that run to drive oil or gas around an internal combustion engine aren't going to be there," said Cooley.

Leaders in Washington hope two key pieces of legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, which were signed into law by President Joe Biden in August, will provide a bridge to that future. These laws authorize billions in incentives for businesses that pursue clean energy manufacturing.

Watch the video to learn more about how the electric vehicle revolution will impact the economies of states across the U.S. Midwest.

My cousin in Oklahoma sent me a few trail cam pictures with the caption mango smoothie, mask & laptop.

I’m sliding this into a more suitable thread. Energy sources will be what we need. Tiny black holes are good at generating it. Even wild ones can convert a sizable fraction of infalling matter into pure sweet photon.
The rest is engineering.

I'm generally an optimist, but harnessing singularities and black holes will require more than some engineering! Getting to one might be an issue and getting too close would be a bigger one!

sounds good, just remember i'm building the ship out of paper, so we can't get it wet...but as long as we stay away from the ice pirates, we should be good, right?

it'll be ok, paper is very light...

Never got into that one or Lost In Space.
Red Dwarf and Babylon 5 were more my speed.

there seems to be a defenestration outbreak recently, which is now international...
better than mass shootings i guess, usually only one victim unless they land on someone.

I'm a huge Dr Who fan.
Red dwarfs cool, i saw this boat last year and had to get a couple snaps.

Happy Labor Day. UNION!

The jogger kidnapped? Black dudes are pawns. I feel family on this. Time will tell.

That's what you get when you drop MyPillow from your lineup.
