In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is taking a victory lap. The Democrat-controlled legislature’s appropriations committees are at the threshold of authorizing two battery projects to receive billions in state economic assistance and incentives. One is the Ningde, China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology in Marshall. The other is with the Hefei, China-based Guoxuan High-Tech (Gotion) in Mecosta County. Whitmer hopes the projects will generate thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity in Michigan. Looks like a huge win for Michigan.
