Dalton to Bainbridge, the Georgia electorate is singing their own praises for bringing plants and jobs to the state that mean to underscore the possibility of "flying cars" in the nearer future, but as the Georgia Recorder states "We're closer to cranking them out than cranking them up."
The Recorder reported that Georgia is still on the low end of energy efficiency with its electric utility policies. "The highest scores for 2022’s energy policies went to California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Maine." (Must be all that legalized weed, right? *Kidding*)
Georgia.org (NOT a government website) states "Building on the assets that make the Automotive Industry successful, Georgia is positioned as a hub for the electric transportation industry. Since 2018, 35 EV-related projects have contributed $23 billion in investments in Georgia. In May 2022, Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) announced plans to open its first fully dedicated EV and battery manufacturing facility in Georgia. HMG began construction on the new facility in January 2023, with full production expected in the first half of 2025, with annual capacity of 300,000 units. In December 2021, Rivian announced their largest manufacturing facility in Georgia, slated to start production in 2026 with annual capacity of 400,000 vehicles."
The most fun thing about being replaced by computers?
Learning a new job skill, because someone is going to have to design them, program them, and keep them maintained, and we haven't reached the high point where machines can make and encode themselves. Yet.
Speaking of which, clean energy and high-tech capacity by Anovion is also focusing their future dream-making capabilities on jobs in Georgia, with an $800 million investment and promise of 400 jobs in Decatur County (Bainbridge) by late 2025.
