(Excerpt taken from @Ford Online News to Know)
President Obama will attend a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday at a Holland, Mich., battery plant owned by Korea’s LG Chem in a visit that will put international news focus on alternative technologies and jobs. [President] Obama is working to reassure Americans he is focused on the economy, business investment and job growth. Ford announced this week that LG Chem’s Compact Power subsidiary will produce lithium-ion battery packs from cells for the 2011 Focus Electric debuting next year. GM is expected to be a part of the Thursday event because Compact Power also developed battery packs for the Volt.
If only I could get an invitation to that meeting!
