Whirlpool


Blogroll Me!





















My girl friend called me this morning and asked me if I heard the news that Whirlpool will be opening a factory in Tennessee. This came as a piggyback story about the minerals that China will refuse to export namely lithium for car batteries. They would make our car batteries and sell us those, but not sell us any lithium to make our own batteries! Ohio is slated to make lithium batteries for electric cars. Unfortunately the US doesn't have any lithium mines. What a pickle we may be in unless we can negotiate this precious element.
