IAMT

The Institute for American Manufacturing & Technology (IAMT) produces applied research and policy analysis across three domains: artificial intelligence, energy & power, and manufacturing. Three institutes. One framework. Build. Power. Govern. iamtpolicy.org

What does it actually mean for a nation to be sovereign? Not in the diplomatic sense, but in the physical, material sense that determines whether a country can act without asking permission? @patrickjwolf attempts to answer this question in our latest release for the @MooseInstitute's The New Outlook. He looks at American deindustrialization — tracing how decades of trade liberalization, financial short-termism, and the quiet cultural dismissal of industrial work have left the United States dependent on foreign suppliers for the inputs that undergird national power. The consequences are no longer theoretical. China controls roughly 90% of global rare earth processing capacity. American commercial shipbuilding accounts for 0.1% of global output. Since 2000, the U.S. has lost more than 91,000 manufacturing plants and nearly 5 million manufacturing jobs. A nation doesn't lose sovereignty the moment it closes its last factory. What it loses first is the ability to resist coercion — and to negotiate from strength.

Run the numbers. We have three options: 1. Massive industrial policy run with private incentives and speed - fed and state govs simply issue pardons for regulatory violations, rebuild "ground to gravity" materials and refining processes, heavy industry, etc. 2. Accept constraints and save our load (pun intended) for existential threats while we rebuild at a slower pace. 3. Embrace Allies and encourage them to develop their own unique warfighting capability that strengthens the West and its Allies in a comprehensive manner. But this isn't sustainable.

@disclosetv Far from America First

JUST IN - Trump announces that "America First Refining is opening the FIRST new U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 YEARS in Brownsville, Texas," and thanks "our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company, Reliance, for this tremendous Investment."

@GovNuclear SMR will be the future of power generation

So, how big is a microreactor? Our MARVEL reactor will be roughly the size of an average sedan and produce enough energy to power 10 U.S. homes.

The future of power generation

America’s industrial future depends on power. As data centers, reshored manufacturing, and defense production expand, the U.S. faces a new era of energy demand. By: @patrickjwolf Read more below 👇
