re: Pictures of ground breaking of $1.3 billion aluminum facility in Ky.... 1800 jobs

there are two idled aluminum plants in Texas, one in Gregory and the other near Point Comfort. I wonder if those will be starting up soon.

I'm not sure if you know anything about the Gregory plant but they're essentially closed down due to union negotiations. I used to drive by there every day for over a year and the stupid union fricks would be on strike...literally for over a year picketing.

And it should be noted that they were planning to close the plant well before Trump was elected. In fact at the time that they decided to close this plant is was all but a foregone conclusion that Hillary would be the next president.

As far as it reopening? I know Cheniere Energy has expressed interest in purchasing the facility.

If you thought this was going to somehow be some poor reflection of Trump's economic policies you would be severely wrong.
