The Biden administration is considering a proposal to impose tariffs of up to nearly 300% on imported tinplate steel, which could have detrimental effects on the U.S. manufacturing industry. Ohio-based steel giant Cleveland-Cliffs is pushing for these tariffs, claiming that eight countries, including U.S. allies, are flooding the market with low-cost tinplate steel. However, smaller manufacturing businesses, like Independent Can, argue that these tariffs would increase the price of canned goods, threaten tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, and force companies to rely on cheaper imports. A study predicts a decline in can production and job cuts, with minimal new job creation. Critics argue that these tariffs prioritize protectionism over the interests of American businesses, jobs, and consumers.

Nearly half of the employees at Tesla's Buffalo solar panel factory in New York are analyzing Autopilot and Full Self-Driving data, instead of working on solar panel production. The factory, which was initially expected to create 3,000 jobs and produce enough solar-panel shingles for 1,000 houses per week, has fallen short of expectations. The state of New York invested nearly $1 billion in the facility, but the output has been significantly lower than anticipated. Tesla currently employs 1,700 workers at the site to avoid penalties from the state. Critics argue that the project has been a costly economic development failure.

President Biden's approach to industrial policy might not only undermine other commitments but also fail on its own terms to bring huge numbers of jobs building things like solar panels and semiconductors back to the US. Biden's signature climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, extensively favors US industry in a way that has provoked mass outrage from foreign governments, including close allies. Biden seems to be joining Trump in turning America inward, at least economically, and undermining the open trade regime that their predecessors from both parties worked for decades to build.

Nel Hydrogen, a Norwegian company, will build a $400 million "gigafactory" in Michigan to manufacture equipment that produces hydrogen fuel. The factory will create more than 500 clean energy manufacturing jobs and will be the first in the U.S. to produce electrolyzers, which use electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water. The move is part of Michigan's goal to become carbon-neutral by 2050 and to lead hydrogen development. The state is also in conversations to become one of the six to 10 hydrogen "hubs" selected by the U.S. Department of Energy Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Office.
