[candycorn]

Since the EV Credits were euthanized by Trump, Nissan decided to euthanize the expansion of their plant in Canton, MS.

Talk about getting what you voted for!

The plant isn't closing...its just not expanding

As we're seeing with the great Iranian mis-adventure, putting all of your eggs in one basket energy-wise can be costly. It makes total sense to go with hybrid (I wouldn't do electric only) vehicles. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way. Mississippi is learning one.

People buy hybrids. Taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for them.

 

[TNHarley]

Lol and why should we be going into deeper debt to pay people to buy hybrids?
Democrats hate capitalism.

The D.C. grift.
-Voters oppose project
-Corps hire lobbies
-Lobbies grease politician palms
-Politicians approve projects/reward corps with 10X paybacks (tax breaks, cheap labor (H1B/lax immigration enforcement), direct/indirect subsidization)
-Politician brags about bringing prosperity to their district
-Morons vote for dirtbag again...or don't and are presented with a carbon copy by the lobbies.

Thanks Trump. It's not making America great again to kill renewable energy projects then start a war in the Middle East.

Yeah, Trump is for the workers.

They don’t foot the bill.

 

[candycorn]

Yeah, Trump is for the workers.

And 100% of those workers including the ones who won’t be hired now will still vote for the blob.

It’s a subsidy that supports a $500M expansion, lowers the price of oil, cleans the air, employs Americans.

 

[pknopp]

They don’t foot the bill.

Well, yeah, its just an increasing debt that is going to even do bigger damage than a tax.

 

[JohnDB]

They don’t foot the bill.

Ummmm
Yes they do.
When the plant expansion is built using taxpayer $$$....just like GM, Ford, Toyota, and Chrysler have all done in the past.....we are footing the bill.

It started with the K car by Chrysler.....
Only gotten worse since.

And FYI....
Nissan is not that great of a company to work for. Theres much better.

 

[candycorn]

Well, yeah, its just an increasing debt that is going to even do bigger damage than a tax.

I disagree. More jobs in manufacturing, transportation, installation of charging stations, building batteries, service, maintenance…it will offset the 6-8 thousand dollar subsidy.

Nissan was going to pay for the expansion

 

[JohnDB]

Nissan was going to pay for the expansion

Nope.
They werent.....

Just like the EMPTY EV plant in GA that Biden paid for using our tax dollars. (Filled with illegal Koreans) now is a brown site.

It now sits empty because nobody was buying EVs....literally nobody. Zero orders.

Proving once again that Democrats have zero ideas about how supply side economics functions.

You’re just wrong. There’s no other way to put it.

If its such a great deal, manufacturers will do it on their own.

and?

 

[JohnDB]

Oh how I most certainly WISH I was wrong.
Unfortunately the empty EV car plant is empty....nobody works there....it sits unused. Nobody is making cars of any sort in it.

It would have employed all kinds of illegal immigrants and brought money into the state somehow....

Hard to make a profit when the market is still developing and the barrier to entry is so high.

I’m not sure what the mystery is here.
