BECANCOUR, QUE.- Much of the heavy machinery at the Nemaska Lithium plant site in Quebec, is at a standstill after majority owner Rio Tinto issued dozens of layoff notices. Workers were not the only thing effected, construction on an EV battery chain that was nearly 80 per cent complete is now forced to pause.
This marks the latest sign for the town of Bécancour, located in a region known as “Battery Valley,” that plans for the area to become a hub of an EV manufacturing boom may not come to fruition.
That Carney! He can do anything!
