Thanks for your efforts to clean up the mess left behind Mr. President. Thanks for bypassing the Congress on this. (we all know why). High tech manufacturing back in the US? who would have thought... Dont worry republicans Mitt Romneys money from shutting down businesses is still safely hoarded in the Caymans, Luxembourg and Swiss banks... See we can all win... The White House said NASA and the departments of Defense, Energy and Agriculture would invest more than $300 million in the emerging technologies of advanced materials including composites and bio-based materials, advanced sensors for manufacturing, and digital manufacturing. It said the investments, matched by private-sector resources, would drive advances in the manufacturing of high-tech materials including “new steel alloys that are twice as strong and lighter than today” and new processes to eliminate reliance on foreign supplies of critical materials. As part of the effort, the National Science Foundation will establish up to two manufacturing “centers of excellence” in basic research bringing together universities and industry with a focus on advanced sensors for manufacturing and digital manufacturing. The White House statement added that the Labor Department was launching a $100 Million American Apprenticeships Grant Competition to spur apprenticeships in advanced manufacturing. In addition, the Commerce Department’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership will pilot $130 million competition over five years across 10 states to help small manufacturers adopt new technologies and bring new products to market.
