That sounds pretty anti-American.

No, it's Pro-California, which means its Pro-American.

Unless we consult with those hucksters who declare CA as Anti-American, in which case it would then be said to be not Pro-American.

This thread started with a newspaper article. That article saying that California may be the home for the new battery factory, is old news.

Headlines & Global News.

California is left out of the running as the article says, because of how long it takes in California to get the permits they need before they can start building, and they cannot afford to wait 2 1/2 years before they start construction. They want to start building and preparing this year, so they will have batteries running off the assembly line before they could even get the permits to start in California.

Another good example of how California governments, are driving good businesses and lots of jobs out of state.

No, it's anti-American. I assume you were speaking tongue in cheek though. Nobody in their right mind would rather send those jobs to kids in China than Americans in TX.

OK, does this make you feel better, if those jobs cant stay in California, than I rather those jobs go to Reno, Neveda or anywhere else in the United States than Washington state or Texas.

Whatever happened to that, anyway? Still bogged down in legal hassles?
Cargo will never travel by high speed rail. Only people will pay the kind of fees to ride that fast. Cargo = UPS. People = car/air.

It sounds like there's a bureaucracy in serious need of streamlining.

Why? To encourage growth we don't need? To facilitate another toxic manufacturing site?
