- OJFord 2y agoI think they've sorted that: > The Indian conglomerate Tata has confirmed Bridgwater in Somerset as the site [...] Preliminary activity has started on the site and work to establish its foundations will begin in spring.

They'll produce a pile of barely-working, but certainly not commercially viable, battery cells to claim whatever milestones are necessary.

I've been watching the news reports about the blast furnace debacle the past couple of days and they just don't care. Hopefully the new incoming Government will sort them out.
