Those cancellations include a $1 billion factory in Georgia that would have made thermal barriers for batteries and a $1.2 billion lithium-ion battery factory in Arizona.</p><p>“It’s hard at the moment to be a manufacturer in the U.S. given uncertainties on tariffs, tax credits, and regulations,” said Tom Taylor, senior <a href='https://autoenginexpress.com/product/chrysler-6-1-v8l-remanufactured-cylinder-head-2006-2010-hemi' target='_blank' rel='follow'>policy</a> analyst at Atlas Public Policy. He added that hundreds of millions of dollars in additional investments appear to have stalled but have not yet been formally canceled.</p><p>“Nothing is more important to business than market clarity,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a clean energy advocacy group. “It’s about as clear as a blizzard at midnight.”</p>
