Good point, supply chain benefits are probably the main benefit

I’ve been wondering why battery manufacturers have been moving to the southeast other than cheap labor. Eventually it’ll be because of supply chain benefits. Access to steel, maybe mining, good highways, well priced electricity, and of course state regulations. Anyone have real information on this?

Offshore wind electricity generation could power the world with all of its energy needs. Offshore wind happens to be decently disbursed at higher latitudes in both the north and south hemispheres. Already we couple solar and food. If we’re ahead sending people out to manage the wind farms, might not be so hard to also send people to manage the food farms between the wind turbines?
