Growth is largely propelled by AI data center infrastructure and energy storage, highlighted by a five-year strategic collaboration where SK On will supply 9 GWh of US-manufactured LFP cells to NeoVolta Power. While Taiwanese companies invest billions in the US, export orders have declined for 14 consecutive months due to tariffs. To support this expansion, Ohio has launched the JobsOhio Technician Pathway to address a growing shortage of skilled technicians.Why it mattersThe shift tow https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/us-manufacturing-is-boominghttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/us-manufacturing-is-booming#u52849Mon, 31 Aug 2026 07:20:37 +0000Artificial intelligence is accelerating US manufacturing growth, specifically in optical fiber and data center infrastructure. Corning is doubling its size through a partnership with NVIDIA to build three optical-manufacturing facilities. Simultaneously, energy storage is scaling, with SK On securing a 9 GWh battery supply contract. While payroll growth remained steady in August, the rapid expansion of AI data centers has become a political flashpoint heading into the November midterm elections. Trade activity also remains high at the US-Mexico border, evidenced by surging freight between Texa https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/us-manufacturing-is-boominghttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/us-manufacturing-is-booming#u51875Sun, 30 Aug 2026 00:46:51 +0000US manufacturing is experiencing a boom characterized by increased hiring and production. However, analysts disagree on whether this revival stems from Donald Trump's tariffs. Some reports suggest that tariffs failed to reverse production declines and that growth actually surged after tariffs fell. This industrial expansion coincides with broader strategic competition between the US and China in high-tech sectors, including advanced semiconductors and nuclear fusion, as the US seeks to maintain its technological edge through defense startups and energy innovation.Why it mattersThe debate
