Bulldozers are clearing Kokomo’s cornfields to build a $2.5-billion government-subsidized electric vehicle battery factory, with the aim of retaining jobs tied to auto production at a time California is leading the nation in phasing out gas-powered engines.
Wouldn't it be more environmentally responsible to build a plant on unused industrial land?
For them, it is a two-fer…they get to impact the food supply negatively by wiping out cornfields, and they get to build an electric car factory.
