[Lead Scientist Gary Yang] soon ran into trouble. He said he couldn’t persuade any U.S. investors to come aboard.

“I talked to almost all major investment banks; none of them (wanted to) invest in batteries,” Yang said in an interview, adding that the banks wanted a return on their investments faster than the batteries would turn a profit.

Yang acknowledges that he wanted his U.S. engineers to work in China. But he says it was because he thought Rongke Power could help teach them critical skills.

He said he wanted to manufacture the entire battery in the U.S., but that the U.S. does not have the supply chain he required. He said China is more advanced when it comes to manufacturing and engineering utility-scale batteries.

“In this field — manufacturing, engineering — China is ahead of the U.S.,” Yang said. “Many wouldn’t believe [it].”

the antivaxx trucker rally in canada cost the country billions of dollars. if people in the US were willing to give their lives or freedom to fuck up the infrastructure they could do a lot of damage. maybe it wouldn’t be permanent but it would be enough to hurt or even kill a lot of people in the process

people are dismissing this because of the source but it really wouldn’t take too much to fuck up the infrastructure in most american cities for a long time
