Real Solutions Trump plans to make America dominant energy player
Catrina Rorke, a senior fellow with the free market think tank R Street, said cheap, reliable, and abundant energy may bring more manufacturing to the United States of not just chemical products, but also energy intensive and heavy products, as it will be more cost effective to manufacture these domestically and save on transportation costs.
Rorke pointed out that BMW announced on June 26 that it will expand its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, making it BMW’s largest production facility in the world. The expansion will cost $600 million and add 1,000 jobs.
