RE:Nearly $14 million will be provided to help fund four criticwhat can you expect? Lithium is the poster child (failed or not) for decarbonization and green cars etc. , mom and pop watching 6 oclock news dont know the difference so the political value is still all about Li, even if northvolt is scaling back qc and other projects big time and li at a multiyear low.
PD is not a poster child, copper has been used for centuries in industry so it isn't a pure play or as sexy as Li (is or was).
As for govt officials different depts different priorities there is likely little coordination across various entities, so hurry up and wait
