Northvolt is the biggest industrial disaster in the history of Sweden With Northvolt's journey coming to an end, I see lots of support for them. "𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥", "𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯.*" and so on. Northvolt famously chose to locate their factory in Skellefteå, a small city in the north of Sweden. With clean energy in abundance, it would offer a competitive advantage. When looking closer at the Skellefteå area in our platform, there is not more than a handful large companies in engineering/industry. The relevant competence had to be brought in. My family is from the area and I have spent a lot of time there. One disadvantage is that nearly half of the year is very dark and cold. Attracting international talent to such a place is difficult. As a point of reference to how far north Skellefteå is: Stockholm is closer to Germany than to Skellefteå. Northvolt has:  - Raised around $10 billion  - Recorded virtually no revenue  - Had 4 casualties If they fail to meet their obligations, local businesses in Skellefteå and Sweden could lose up to $250 million in outstanding claims. Pension funds have invested nearly $1 billion of tax payer money that now seem to evaporate. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was Northvolt. Who knows what could have happened with more time, but it's clear that the operational efficiency and execution was not good enough. That's hard to scale. My point is not to bash the brave people who dared to dream, but I think more nuance is needed in these discussions. Am I missing something? P.S *I have not built a battery factory, but I still felt like sharing my thoughts on the topic.
