The Pentagon and AI Giants Have a Weakness. Both Need China’s Batteries, Badly. China’s dominance is raising alarms far beyond EVs. Trump initially froze Biden-era grants for battery manufacturing. Trump officials have “softened their tone on batteries. But the policy is still incoherent.”

Good! I hope the military depends on EVs, solar panels, and wind turbines to be able to compete with anyone else too!
There is a solution, take it or die.
So fucking insane. Trump cripples the nascent US battery industry to attack EVs and clean energy, and then his AI tech bro buddies and the military tell him he’s harming them too. So now he’s trying to reignite Biden’s battery boom while still kneecapping the biggest source of battery demand – EVs. This crap has got to stop. He’s insane and needs medical attention.
Everything about this admin is incoherent and disconnected. They are all idiots doing idiot things and making incomprehensible and self defeating decisions that negatively affect this country.
