THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS SPENDING SIX BILLION DOLLARS TO SLASH POLLUTION FROM HEAVY INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING CEMENT, STEEL, AND ALUMINUM AND A PLANT IN SOUTHWEST OHIO WILL BENEFIT.
THE FUNDING COMES FROM A COMBINATION OF THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW. IT WILL GO TO MORE THAN 30 FACTORIES AROUND THE COUNTRY. ONE OF THOSE FACTORIES IS THE CLEVELAND-CLIFFS STEEL FACILITY IN MIDDLETOWN. THE FUNDING WILL ALLOW THE PLANT TO INSTALL TWO NEW ELECTRIC FURNACES AND USE HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY.
