The Plant Atlas
The American factories behind the AI and grid buildout, from transformers and turbines to batteries, chips, cable and steel, state by state and plant by plant. Free to read for a limited time.
Description
The Plant Atlas covers the American factories that make what the AI and grid buildout consumes: transformers, switchgear, motors, controls, wire and cable, turbines, compressors, pumps, valves, batteries, chips and solar cells, steel and copper. It shows where the plants are, how many people they employ and what they pay, how each industry has changed since before the pandemic, who the makers are, and the environmental record of the plants that report to the EPA.
You get a state by state map for every industry, the leading states and counties, side by side views of each part of the chain, the companies behind the plants, the named plants themselves, and their toxic release, greenhouse gas and compliance records. It is a web edition you read in your browser, with the full presentation and reference workbook inside, alongside The Power Atlas, The Data Center Atlas, The Earnings Call Atlas and The Value Chain Atlas in the Atlas Series.
