Making batteries is a nasty uncomfortable job. Few Americans do not want to do nasty uncomfortable jobs. Breakers could be profitable made in the USA but the burden of employee health care is on the employer. I suspect it would be difficult to insure a man that worked over a lead smelt.

Whoa....whoa....whoa...guys. Such pessimism. The USA is the greatest manufacturing sector in the world.
It's a shifting world marketplace.........the low cost producer is the winner. Nothing wrong with that and it is healthy. As long as it is a level playing field.....governments can subsidize certain industries but not for long......then market forces take over again.
Think global..........then invest globally.Comment
