Former U.S. Ambassadors Peter Hoekstra and Joseph Cella said Chinese companies have made an effort to take advantage of U.S. green energy goals.
Two former US ambassadors are sounding the alarm on the increasing number of green energy projects nationwide being developed with the involvement of Chinese companies.
“Right now electric vehicle sales are about 3 to 5% of new automobile sales,” he continued. “Now is the time for the U.S. to establish its own capabilities rather than increasing reliance on an unreliable and a threatening adversary.” Together, Hoekstra and Cella have specifically called attention to two EV battery plant projects proposed for Michigan. The first, slated for Big Rapids, Michigan, involves the Hefei, China-based Gotion High-Tech while the second, proposed for Marshall, Michigan, involves the Ningde, China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology .Nic Antaya/Getty Images
In October, Whitmer announced that Gotion would invest $2.4 billion to construct two 550,000 square-foot production plants along with other supporting facilities spanning 260 acres in northern Michigan. She applauded the proposal, saying it would shore up Michigan’s status as the” global hub of mobility and electrification.”
Ahead of the event, though, Hoekstra and Cella penned a letter to Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen and the Department of Justice’s Foreign Agents Registration Act Unit. They asked Olsen and the FARA unit to investigate individuals in Michigan who are advocating on behalf of foreign interests.
