Interesting article about the Lordstown plant from last year. I think they are supposed to start building Fiskars there.

There was also late last year the electric vehicle manufacturer Canoo folded and filed bankruptcy, and electric semi truck builder Nikola also just folded.

Here's how Fisker was doing a month after that article came out:

So, it sounds like, Canoo, Lordstown, Elio, Arcimoto, Nikola and Fisker can all set up shop at the old Lordstown plant and set up a business together. Fisker needs to head it up as they went bankrupt twice, so they are experts at raising money and then watching their business go down the toilet. With the other 5 businesses, they might be able to create a company that can raise more than anyone and crash harder than anyone. No reason why they couldn't set up a reality show of it happening.

There is a company working on a diesel - electric hybrid semi (Edison Motors). I found the concept interesting.

Here is the website
Diesel - Electric Trucks

Chevy introduced a Diesel-electric hybrid pickup for the military last October.
And Dodge's Ramcharger gas-electric is supposed to be on the road in a few months.

Don't know why a Diesel-electric hybrid semi wouldn't be a winner.

That is personal. So, funny. First thing this morning I get this in my face. I am a happy goat owner. Since March first, one little lady is giving me milk and Monday I found out that my second is pregnant too. After having no milk goat for over three years! I can't believe you sent me this. I am going to try to make cheese today for the first time in three years. How did you know to post this? THANK YOU. Amazing! I loved it!
