    SK opened the $2.6 billion battery plant in Commerce, Georgia, in January 2022. The Korean company notably supplied the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. Ford announced plans to cancel the fully electric version of the truck in December.

    So you built a $2.6 billion battery plant to build batteries for the truck Ford abandoned immediately. Who could have possibly seen this coming?!
