RELATED - Northvolt has halted all activity at the future site of its electric battery plant in Quebec. The Swedish giant says it found a series of Molotov cocktails in their machinery over the weekend.In late September, Quebec Premier François Legault announced his government had attracted the largest private manufacturing investment in the province’s history, which he said would transform Quebec into a global player in the electric vehicle supply chain.
In the rush to attract Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt’s factory, the Legault government committed $2.9 billion while Ottawa chipped in $4.4 billion. And the province quietly changed environmental regulations that resulted in the project avoiding Quebec’s public consultations bureau, known as the BAPE.
In February, Legault told reporters it made him “sad” to hear people criticize Northvolt, saying that “with this attitude” Quebec would have been unable to build its major hydroelectric projects. “If we listened to these people, nothing would change,” he said. “We would do nothing. So we really need to change this attitude in Quebec.
