How do investments in US EV battery production stack up against those around the world?  Energy Evolution correspondent Camellia Moors spoke with guests Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and President and Chair of the Michigan Strategic Fund, and Nick Nigro, founder of data-driven research and advisory group Atlas Public Policy.  Tune in to Energy Evolution to stay up to date on the energy transition and its implications.
