Governor Eric Holcomb draws many vacation classes to Egypt for a foreign convention on weather updates, starting with the need to grow and compete with the world.
He said on Friday morning, for example, that he had learned of a hydroelectric assignment that had been deserted in the UK.
“And it’s an assignment that, on the hydroelectric front, we’re very interested in, in Indiana, in the northwest quadrant of our state,” Holcomb said.
At the United Nations Conference of the Parties, he met with industry stakeholders such as federal officials from the Department of Energy and the U. S. Department of Transportation. U. S.
He returns Saturday from the trip, which he funded through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation Foundation.
Holcomb focused more on Indiana’s economy and energy transition than saving the environment.
“What I’ve learned is that we are stuck in this situation of one or the other,” he said. “Either you believe in science, or you don’t believe in science, or you believe in economics, or you believe in the environment. It’s both.
He noted that other things are going to work in other communities, noting that small modular nuclear reactors work in Indiana but not elsewhere because of politics.
“There are so many investments coming out of COVID. . . so many important decisions are made about offshoring and offshoring and building supply chains into clusters and ecosystems, which makes you take all the pain out of the supply chain,” Holcomb said.
He declined to give main points about a possible lead announcement of electric vehicles.
“We are focused on the long-term mobility for all of our existing (OEMs). They’re making an investment of millions, billions of dollars in hybrids and electrics, their long term. And we want to make sure we’re in a position to meet customer demand, not too far forward but not far behind.
He said the state will continue battery storage, recycling expertise, semiconductors and other critical aspects of the auto chain.
