I would like to give a shout-out to Jeremy as I had an absolute blast visiting with him about Freyr Battery and their new U.S. division. My first interview with Tom Jensen, while he was at the headquarters in Norway, was an eye-opener. While we understand that renewables and a weak grid require storage for stabilization, I have not been a big fan due to the impact of the huge batteries on the environment as they are disposed of. Well, the new technology developed by Freyr Battery has fixed one of my biggest concerns, and in fact, almost every objection I have to large storage projects, Tom was able to address.

So it made sense that we got an update from Jeremy as the new president of U.S. Operations. I mean it was a blast, as we got some great updates on the huge job numbers in the U.S., the use of the IRA, and coordinating investors for the U.S. market as well.

As Freyr continues down the right road, please watch their new technology as they remain nimble enough to make the changes for the good of the environment and good-paying jobs.

Thank you Jeremy for stopping by the podcast. Please let me know if you have any updates in the future that we need to know about. - Stu
