In the Face of Most Democrats' Opposition, U.S. Steel Cancels a Billion-Dollar Investment

[excalibur]

Democrats doing what they do better than anyone else, killing jobs.

These people along with the MSM are the enemy of America.

​

Exactly two years ago, U.S. Steel Corporation announced that the company would turn its Mon Valley Works operations into a key source of lightweight steel for the automotive industry.​

​

At the time, local leaders and company officials called the investment "transformational."​

​

It involved a whopping $1.5 billion upgrade to the three Mon Valley Works plants, all in Pennsylvania -- the Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, the Irvin Plant in West Mifflin and the Clairton Coke Works in Clairton -- with technology and improvements that would have resulted in cleaner air for all three communities as well as good-paying jobs providing regional prosperity for decades.​

​

On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.​

​

U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.​

​

Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."​

​

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.​

​

Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.​

​

Jeff Nobers, the president of Pittsburgh Works, an economic group made up of officials in manufacturing, steel, energy and labor unions, said the unknown costs and future implications due to this decision are formidable and long-lasting. "We have to be thinking about what manufacturers who were looking to locate here are thinking," he said. "Do they look at the climate here and wonder if it is worth it? Well, that is a problem, too."​

​

Local elected officials are of several minds on this project. Most of them were just hoping it would fly under the radar of the climate justice warriors and go up without notice. That was never going to happen. The rest fully backed its demise because of their views on climate change.​

If this follows the Amazon model everything will be back on after the local government agrees to surrender any and all power they might have had to protect their citizens against exploitation and pollution.

Just another victory for the CCP Dems in driving down the US economy!

Wise move on US Steel's part looking towards the future. Back in January US Steel spent a good chuck of that billion laying out cash for Big River Steel which produces steel through a different process that produces less emissions.
