Hi, everybody, Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of Full Measure After Hours. Today, a Michigan plant exemplifies the national

versus the national security risk of that. So the plant is going to be built right now by a company

called Goshen to make parts for

lithium carbonate electric car batteries. In this podcast today, you'll hear a little bit about

both sides in the debate. Bruce Borkovich is running for a township supervisor position nearby

where the factory is to be built. He's against the giant factory for national

security reasons. But first you'll hear from Chuck Thalen, who is for the plant. He will be its

general manager. You can clear this up off the top.
