The $1.6bn Biden-era plan for a gas-powered blast furnace at a steel mill in Middletown, Ohio, is indefinitely on hold
A Biden-era plan to implement a gas-powered blast furnace at a steel mill in Ohio, which would have eliminated tons of greenhouse gases from the local environment year over year and created more than a thousand jobs, has been put on hold indefinitely by the Trump administration.
Experts and locals say the setback could greatly affect the health and financial state of those living around the mill.
It’s not, it’s building out infrastructure. Steelmaking is essential.
Not having steelmaking will hurt Americans more than subsidising it.
Making steelmaking green is a high priority and it was a good investment by the Biden administration.
If it’s essential…
Why are we letting a private corporation who only cares about increasing profit margin in the next quarter?
Shouldn’t that be a nationalized industry so we can plan what’s best for the country long term?
Why are we privatizing something so necessary?
If that’s the case we should nationalize it and quit giving taxpayer money to these billion dollars leeches
No, it was naked corruption in the face of rising fascism that moderate Dems were too busy giving kickbacks to their friends to effectively prevent
You’re not supposed to follow logic to it’s rational end!!!
If we did that, capitalism wouldn’t still be happening!
