Why are batteries a national security issue? It is THE energy source for critical applications today and, even more importantly, tomorrow: Cars Data Center Batteries (ESS) Military and defense drones Robots If we are to be a resilient nation that is in control of our own destiny in all political/economic/military weather conditions, we will need domestic battery companies to do the following three things: 1. Make Cathode Active Material (CAM) domestically. 2. Make cells domestically that contain domestic CAM. 3. Make packs domestically from cells (2). It can be done and is happening. I cofounded @Mitra_Chem five years ago to help solve the domestic CAM problem. We are creating an entirely American CAM supply chain that addresses all of the markets above. Onwards.
