Korean companies reach deal on Georgia battery plant

The South Korean company behind one of the biggest economic development projects in state history has the green light to keep going.

SK Innovation, which is building a $2.6 billion factory near Commerce to make electric vehicle batteries, reached a settlement on Saturday with a rival that had accused it of stealing trade secrets.

The company agreed to pay $1.8 billion in cash and royalties to the rival, LG Energy Solution, to settle the dispute and agreed to “work to help the development of EV battery industry in South Korea and the U.S. through healthy competition and friendly cooperation,” according to a joint statement from the companies early Sunday.

“In particular, we will work together to strengthen the battery network and environmentally-friendly policy that the Biden administration is pursuing.”

SK came to Georgia in March 2019.  Their expansion has been in the works since June of last year.  Expect the Biden coup to take full credit for it.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I wouldn't be surprised to hear Captain Dementia say something like 'back in 2019 my administration started working with KS Immolation........'
