New $1 Billion Dollar EV Factories Are Being Cancelled in Georgia & Arizona....Because Imbecile Trump Doesn't Believe in Electric Vehicles

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You are totally illogical

Trump tariffs on imported electric cars caused building new EV factories in America to be canceled?

That makes no sense at all

I never said the cancellation of these factories had anything to do with Trump's tariffs, you imbecile.

And the WaPo article doesn't say that, either.

Learn to fucking read, MAGA dolt.

Since Trump is cancelling tax benefits and fuel efficiency programs that encourage the building of EVs in this country, these EV companies don't want to invest here any longer. The tariffs are a separate issue.

 

[Mac-7]

why the fuck don't you want $2 billion in investments for new car factories in red states like Georgia and Arizona?

No one is stopping lib greenies from building those factories

Too bad you you that the bloom is off the ‘lectric car rose

 

[WelfareQueen]

Explain to me how Trump's tariffs are going to help working class Americans.....when dumb ass Trump is ruining great projects for working class Americans??

Yes, let's just completely hand over the EV market to China...god damn, why the fuck did anyone vote for this imbecile???

No smart business man is going to invest in the U.S. with Trump as president. It just isn't going to happen.

The Republicans in Congress are going to have to finally grow some balls and dump this imbecile. I know that's not going to happen, but damn it we are so fucked.


From the Washington Post --

Over the past few years, electric vehicle manufacturing facilities producing lithium batteries, car parts and critical minerals sprang up all over the United States. Drawing on cash and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, these factories promised to provide jobs — largely in Republican areas — and to set the nation on a path to making homegrown EVs.

But even before President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on imports, many of those projects were being canceled — leaving thousands of jobs and the shift to clean energy in doubt.

According to data from Atlas Public Policy, a policy research group, more projects were canceled in the first quarter of 2025 than in the previous two years combined. Those cancellations include a $1 billion factory in Georgia that would have made thermal barriers for batteries and a $1.2 billion lithium-ion battery factory in Arizona.

“It’s hard at the moment to be a manufacturer in the U.S. given uncertainties on tariffs, tax credits and regulations,” said Tom Taylor, senior policy analyst at Atlas Public Policy. Hundreds of millions of dollars in additional investments appear to be stalled, he added, but haven’t been formally canceled yet.

“Nothing is more important to business than market clarity,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a clean energy advocacy group. “It’s about as clear as a blizzard at midnight.”

The 2022 climate law that Democrats passed was designed to reward automakers for building cars and parts in the United States. Vehicles qualified for a $7,500 tax credit based on their American-made parts and minerals, and companies could get additional cash if they manufactured batteries domestically.

But many of those benefits could be repealed in a new Republican-led tax bill. The Trump administration has also moved to reverse the Biden administration’s rules on car tailpipe pollution. Just those changes, according to a recent report from Princeton University, could cut EV sales in 2030 by 40 percent.

“It’s working-class people in places like Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan and Arizona that have seen some of these projects get canceled,” Keefe said. “And I can tell you who’s benefiting — China and other countries that are doubling down.”

So, the plants weren't being motivated by real market demand, but by government money?

Because once the taxpayer money is not available for the businessmen allies of hte lefty, then suddenly they just sort of wander off?

You mean trump is no longer paying greenies to buy ev’s

If battery powered cars are so wonderful the public would rush out to buy them without subsidies

Use your brain why doncha?

Exactly

Progressives want what they want as long as we buy it for them

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

They definitely aren't losing money in China....that's why China owns the EV market.

I don't give a shit about Chinese EVs.
But I wouldn't bet on them being profitable over there, not even with your money.

Well, to be fair, no one cares about what an imbecile like trump believes. The reality is that "maganomics" affects the economy in multiple ways, the collapse of the stock market is just one of them, which will be followed by worsening inflation and unemployment. Currently there is not much appetite to make investments in USA due to severe economic uncertainty and lack of vision from government, they may decide to wait it out and seek a more competent administration.

 

[Nostra]

Even if you don't believe in climate change, why the fuck don't you want $2 billion in investments for new car factories in red states like Georgia and Arizona? This will provide thousands of good paying jobs for MAGA voters.

This is why Trump is doomed to fail. No smart businessmen are going to invest in this country with this fucking idiot as president.

But please....keep on with your mindless blather about how Trump is going to save the country with his bullshit, disastrous tariffs.

MAGA Imbecile.

Whoa. That's dramatic. What's the source for that data?

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

There is no market for EV's and manufacturers know this. Americans as a majority have rejected the high cost of EV's, short traveling distances between charging and the life of batteries. Not to mention the safety related to exploding and burning batteries.
The first manufacturer to come up with a fast recharging battery that will give the user a 400 mile trip on one charge at a cost comparative with a gasoline/diesel engine will turn things around....
In my view that is still years away. More than likely not in my life time.

OK, no market for EVs.....but Trump is going to bring back sock factories and shirt factories and toy factories with his magical tariffs and this country will take a manufacturing time warp back to the 1960s.

Got it, high tech manufacturing jobs have no future in the U.S.....but this shit does.

You are a MAGA peasant.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

If someone wants to build such a plant and employ people, I won't STOP them.

But, if the plant depends on GOVERNMENT MONEY, that means that the jobs are made work pretend shit that is a DRAIN on America, not creating real wealth.

This was all private investment....good paying jobs for thousands of MAGA voters in red states.

But no sane businessmen want to invest in the U.S. any longer...because Trump has created a regulatory environment of chaos and confusion, as the WaPo article describes.

Trump is mentally ill and he is going to destroy this country....unless the Republicans in Congress finally grow some balls and stop him.

Who's going to buy an electric car when one false move and leftist terrorist will start attacking in the streets.

Try attacking F150s...

...but first, make sure your affairs are in order.

Buying an electric car has now become synonymous with advertising you're a pussy that will allow yourself to be attacked by cowards that know you won't fight back.

Nobody wants to make themselves a target...

...well, nobody the left has the nuts to actually fuck with.

The below provides a detailed breakdown, totaling approximately $2.924 trillion, with additional unlisted pledges likely pushing the figure closer to the President's estimate. Below is an analysis of the key contributors and their specific impacts on the U.S. economy and communities.

1. United Arab Emirates (UAE) — $1.4 Trillion The UAE’s $1.4 trillion commitment, announced on March 21, 2025, following meetings with the President, targets AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing. A flagship project is a new aluminum smelter by Emirates Global Aluminium, expected to nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production. This investment could create tens of thousands of jobs, particularly in states like Texas and Louisiana, while strengthening the U.S. supply chain for critical materials. The UAE’s pledge also includes $3 billion in U.S. LNG purchases, supporting America’s energy sector and enhancing energy security.
2. Saudi Arabia — $600 Billion Saudi Arabia’s $600 billion pledge, likely channeled through its Public Investment Fund (PIF), spans energy, manufacturing, and technology. This investment could create over 50,000 jobs in energy-producing states like Texas and Oklahoma, while fostering innovation in tech hubs like California. It reflects Saudi Arabia’s strategic interest in deepening ties with the U.S., possibly in response to the President's tariff threats and his push for energy independence.
3. Apple — $500 Billion Apple’s $500 billion pledge focuses on expanding U.S. manufacturing for chips, assembly, and other components. This could create 30,000 high-tech jobs in states like California and North Carolina, reducing reliance on Asian supply chains. The investment aligns with the President's goal of bringing tech production back to the U.S., potentially shielding Apple from tariffs on imported electronics and bolstering national security by securing domestic tech production.
4. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) — $100 Billion TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, committed $100 billion to build five new semiconductor plants in the U.S., producing advanced 2-nanometer chips in Arizona. According to a Guardian article (March 7, 2025), these plants are projected to create over 6,000 high-tech jobs by 2030, positioning Arizona as a hub for advanced chip production and reducing U.S. reliance on Asian imports. This move strengthens America’s tech independence, a critical national security priority.
5. Nvidia — $100 Billion+ Nvidia, a leader in AI chips, pledged over $100 billion to expand U.S.-based manufacturing and R&D. This investment could create 5,000 jobs in tech hubs like California and Texas, while accelerating advancements in AI and semiconductor technologies. Nvidia’s focus on domestic production helps the U.S. maintain its lead in global tech innovation, avoiding potential tariffs on imported chips.
6. Softbank, Open AI, Oracle — $100 Billion (Combined) This trio committed $100 billion to AI infrastructure and cloud computing, including the Stargate Project, a joint venture to build data centers in Texas, as detailed in a CNBC article (January 21, 2025). The project is expected to create 4,000 jobs in Texas, enhancing the U.S.’s AI capabilities and countering competition from China. This investment underscores America’s role as a hub for tech innovation.
7. Hyundai — $20 Billion Hyundai’s $20 billion investment includes a $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana, creating 1,400 direct jobs and 5,000 indirect jobs in the region, revitalizing local economies and supporting auto plants in Alabama and Georgia. A Reuters article (March 24, 2025) notes additional investments of $6 billion in autonomous driving, robotics, AI, and advanced air mobility, plus $3 billion in U.S. LNG purchases, further boosting the energy sector.
8. Johnson & Johnson — $55 Billion Johnson & Johnson’s $55 billion pledge likely focuses on pharmaceutical manufacturing, potentially creating 3,000 jobs in states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This investment ensures the U.S. can produce essential medicines domestically, a priority heightened by global supply chain disruptions.
9. Eli Lilly — $27 Billion Eli Lilly committed $27 billion for drug manufacturing and R&D, expected to create 2,000 jobs in Indiana and other states. This aligns with the President's push to reshore healthcare industries, reducing dependence on foreign pharmaceuticals.
10. CMA CGM Group (France) — $20 Billion The French shipping company CMA CGM pledged $20 billion for port infrastructure and logistics hubs, potentially creating 1,500 jobs in coastal states like Louisiana and California. This investment enhances the U.S.’s role as a global trade hub, improving supply chain resilience.
11. Merck — $1 Billion Merck’s $1 billion investment in pharmaceutical production could create 500 jobs, contributing to the reshoring of healthcare industries and ensuring domestic access to critical medications.
12. GE Aerospace — $1 Billion GE Aerospace’s $1 billion pledge for aerospace manufacturing and R&D may create 300 jobs, supporting U.S. defense and commercial aviation sectors in states like Ohio and Massachusetts.

Totaling the Investments
Adding these figures: $1,400B (UAE) + $600B (Saudi Arabia) + $500B (Apple) + $100B (TSMC) + $100B (Nvidia) + $100B (Softbank, Open AI, Oracle) + $20B (Hyundai) + $55B (Johnson & Johnson) + $27B (Eli Lilly) + $20B (CMA CGM) + $1B (Merck) + $1B (GE Aerospace) = $2.924 trillion. The President's $3–$4 trillion claim likely includes additional unlisted pledges or a higher estimate for Nvidia’s “$100 billion+” commitment, pushing the total closer to $4 trillion.

Private investment being motivated by tax breaks and substidies. That was YOUR argument just a few post ago, was it not?


That's not really "private investment". That's government support to push a narritive.


ooooh, I just saw it. Get red states hooked on government supported "green jobs" and then never lose an election again.


All based on the ability to just print money.


Yeah, ok. You convinced me. i am against these jobs. Even if it is "private investment".
