Ohio could possibly get another billion-dollar tech factory after Honda and LG Energy Solution announced Monday that they were looking to build a new electric vehicle battery factory.
The popularity of electric vehicles continues to grow year after year, especially with the rising concern of climate change and its impact on our planet.
The groundbreaking of the new Intel semiconductor manufacturing facility is in two weeks. The multi-billion dollar project in Ohio to revitalize the country’s supply has its groundbreaking on Sept. 9, with President Joe Biden giving remarks. Automakers are looking to get in the game. GM already announced it is building an EV battery plant in Lordstown.
Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four of his associates were arrested on charges in relation to “what is likely the largest bribery, money laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio," one that allegedly involved at least $61 million passed through a 501c4 organization controlled by Householder and other entities for the purpose of passing H.B. 6 in 2019, a law that provided a $1.5 billion taxpayer bailout to FirstEnergy.
"If just some of those really bad elements were repealed, it would just be a lot easier," said Nolan Rutschilling, Ohio Environmental Council managing director of energy policy. "The idea that companies will not choose Ohio because of their political claims, when they've been out of power so long is just laughable," he said.
