Thursday is upon us as company Christmas parties seem to be in full swing across the country! Today we look into a surprising new development in the profitability of Stellantis' EV unit, GM bringing employees back to the office, and Tesla calling their shots with a little letter to other OEMs.Show Notes with links:Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares announced the company's EVs were profitable in the U.S. and Europe, having closed the gap with internal combustion engines. Tavares emphasized the necessity of sharp cost management to maintain profitable and affordable pricing for middle-class consumers.Tavares also noted the gap in profit between EV and ICE is closing more quickly in Europe because they started there sooner. The company will be expanding its EV lineup, planning over 75 models globally by 2030, with a focus on models like the Ram ProMaster van and Jeep Recon in the U.S.A recent partnership with Chinese EV maker Leapmotor aimed to bring cost-competitive electric models to European markets.Tavares also noted that  Stellantis is "fighting head-on" with Tesla in Europe while CFO Natalie Knight said Stellantis is now Europe's No. 2 EV seller, beating out TeslaGeneral Motors (GM) has ended its flexible "Work Appropriately" policy, mandating office presence for three days weekly. This shift marks a significant change from the pandemic-era approach.GM CEO Mary Barra announced the end of the flexible remote work policy, requiring staff within 50 miles of a GM office to attend in person Tuesday to Thursday.The policy, effective January 8, 2024, aims to meet critical business needs and maintain company culture.GM initially allowed department-specific policies due to staff pushback but has now joined other firms in tightening remote work options.Tesla is distributing a free guide on 48-volt architecture to other car company CEOs, challenging them to enhance their electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing processes.This guide details the implementation of 48-volt systems, key for advanced features like "steer-by-wire" 4-wheel steering, marking a significant leap from traditional 12-volt systems.Tesla's move democratizes knowledge in the EV industry, typically characterized by closely-guarded technological secrets, fostering a more collaborative environment.Jim Farley tweeted in reply to the news: “They weren't joking. We received the document today, dated Dec.5th. Thanks Elon Musk.

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— James Comer and Jim Jordan are ready to use the Democratic powerplays and subpoenas against Hunter Biden—for snubbing Congressional subpoenas—this is going to be hard to explain after Steve Bannon's treatment—   Number Two— Democrats and Republicans joined together yesterday—to kill a Climate Change EV mandate from Joe Biden—and telling Americans—You DO NOT have to buy an electric car!   Number Three— It feels like we are staring into the abyss more and more doesn't it?   I mean, I hear people say it more often—they feel like the world is going to hell—and they feel helpless to stop it from happening—   They know what they are seeing—AND yet they are told they are wrong—and they know they are being lied to—all the time, and they are sick of it—   Joe Biden is lying to us—about Bidenomics, the economy in general, border security, Ukraine's alleged success in its war with Russia, green energy, EV's and I could go on—   Alejandro Mayorkis lies daily about the situation at the border—he lies to Congress and therefore all of us when he keeps saying the border is secure—when we have had millions of people flood the country in just the last 3 years—almost 2 million are gotaways—meaning we don't even know who they are—BUT Mayorkis keeps repeating the same tired lines about how border security is “the President's top priority” and that our border is secure— when we ALL know that is a lie—   John Kerry flies all over the world to lie about climate change—which is weird—considering he wants us all to ride donkeys—or maybe we should walk, I am sure donkeys fart too much and therefore are destroying the planet too—   Kerry claims that climate change will make the ice in the arctic vanish and cause sea levels to rise—of course he has been spreading that lie for decades now—I mean he lied and told us there would be no ice up there in the summer by 2014—almost ten years ago—   Al Gore pushes those same Green New Lies—   They lie and tell you its America's fault that the world is on the verge of not just Global Warming—BUT Global boiling—and of course its all lies—   Hillary Clinton just pulled the number 500,000 right out of the World Health Organizations rectum—claiming that that many people die from excessive heat each year—another lie—and we already know that 9 times as many people die from the cold on this planet—BUT they can't seem to tell the truth about such things—   We hear Chuck Schumer lie about the Second Amendment—claiming falsely that banning assault weapons has proven to stop gun deaths, mass shootings and gun violence in general —BUT that is just another blatant lie—that is NOT supported by the facts and the statistics—   We hear Republicans and Democrats lie about how Ukraine is winning the war—and if we just fork over a few hundred billion more dollars—that they will magically beat the Russian army—   Bob Menendez lies about the Gold Bars, transgender activists lie about biology, socialists-marxists and outright communists lie about the US Constitution and the global success of free market capitalism—   I mean we could do this all day—   BUT don't worry, the government is ready to save you from all of this lying—by implementing agencies at the UN, the Hague and in Washington among other places to make sure the internet at least is protected from misinformation and disinformation—   They will be the guardians of truth!   Yes, world governments are ready to implement their agencies of truth—and they will be able to tell you good citizens of the world what you should actually believe—and anyone who says otherwise is, well, lying of course! And they will be held accountable by the state!   If you don't think so—if you don't think this could happen in the Western world and certainly not in America—well you need to pay attention— Because in Ireland, the government agents are standing by to delete, silence and censor anything they deem to be untrue—and as we have already seen—they certainly know the difference between what is true and what is not—at least that's what they claim—WHILE LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH ALL DAY LONG!!!   So, lets take a look at some of the things that are pretty clearly on the list of blatant lies—   I guess he is trying to flip the script there—BUT I am pretty sure most Americans are on to that act—Joey gets angry and puffs up his scrawny chest before shuffling out of the room for warm milk and cookies—and another mood enhancer of some kind—   I mean you don't really think he can get through the day without complex management of his mind and body through chemistry do you? No, of course not!   Ah yes, puffing out his chest—he's been doing that for a long time—I mean, he is not a very bright man, lets just be up front about that—so when he gets challenged—he tries to play Mr. tough guy! Its very impressive as I recall—    And lately—they don't care as we have seen— they will just lie and lie and lie—   I mean just this week FBI Director Christopher Wray told the US Senate he just could not clear up the big lie—that Hunter Bidens laptop was Russian disinformation—when everyone at every single US intelligence agency knew that was a lie—   In another hearing—Democrats were suggesting that allowing men to pretend they are women—is somehow the way title 9 is supposed to work—newsflash, its not—no, its just another lie—   And how bold are they?    But all of these lies—well they can't go on forever—and at some point they will be challenged—by the one honest reporter you find from time to time—or someone from the other team that gets to argue a few important points—    Even your close friends and your fixers will not be able to cover your tracks anymore—you see, if you go too far and lie too much—well you might just find out, people do have limits—

Average mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest levels since August, cooling from nearly 8% to around 7%. While that may be more manageable for prospective homebuyers, rates are still significantly higher than they’ve been in decades. What will this mean for home sales and refinancing? Plus, EV tax credits are getting complicated, and we hear about the olive oil crisis playing out in Spain.

Not our advice but apparently a popular book. Also not advising anyone to read it. November was fantastic across the board, repair costs for that EV might shock you, and weight loss drugs are the hottest thing going. Plus a sad farewell to Charlie Munger.

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer who is gearing up to run for President—has just hit Michigan taxpayers with an enormous cost—by edict, demanding all state vehicles be EV's—   Number Two— Speaker of the House Johnson, has quickly become a political force—delivering the President an ultimatum— Get the southern border under control or he will stop any more money to Ukraine—   Number Three— The corruption in the White House is making people choose sides and this war—is turning hot—   FBI Director Christopher Wray was back in the hot seat taking questions from GOP Senators demanding to know why the Hunter Biden investigation has been so unusual and unorthodox—or maybe some would even say, corrupt!   We have all known for a very long time for example that the laptop story first reported by Miranda Divine at the New York Post was real—absolutely real—and that his computer was taken into custody by the FBI almost a year before the Post broke the story—and yet—the intel agencies hid behind lies about it being Russian disinformation—which of course they would have concluded very quickly it was not—BUT they remained silent on that very important fact—and instead of just saying yes—its real—they played games hid behind a US Attorney and now Special Counsel David  Weiss by throwing out—“its an ongoing investigation”.   From where I stand the actions of many people constitute crimes—serious crimes for lying about the facts of the case—and keeping the truth from the American people—   I believe the FBI and other intel agencies knew long before the Post had the story that the laptop was very much real and had absolutely nothing to do with Russia—   Well, during testimony on Capital Hill—it sure felt like the walls were closing in on FBI Director Christopher Wray   And that was tame compared to the full frontal assault that was coming a few minutes later from Texas—   And that was just the beginning—you see, these Senators have grown tired and angry about the ongoing runaround—they are ready to demand the truth—and I can guarantee you—if they find themselves in the majority after next years election—these hearings will get a lot more serious—   And on the house side—the impeachment inquiry may soon become the full-blown impeachment—   You see the facts keep spilling out—and as they do—more and more people are focusing on all the lies from The President, The White House, his administration, the news media—and a host of others involved in trying to cover-up the ongoing Biden Family corruption—   Yeah—like they said in Airplane “the sheets—about to hit the fan…”   Oh, and there was something else that came up for Director Wray to dodge questions about—and this one is very interesting too—  

Welcome to Wednesday as we talk about a big eclectic partnership, a little electric car, and an alliance that attempts to keep AI safe. Show Notes with links:Two major OEMs are both partnering to expand their charging networks across the US. GM is partnering with EVgo and Pilot and Ford will partner with Ecel Energy to provide a total of over 30k charging stations for commercial and residential drivers.GM plans to support the installation of 25 locations and 100 chargers before the end of the year and an additional 200 locations in 2024.The chargers will be co-branded “Pilot Flying J” and “Ultium Charge 360,” reflecting the two companies that will be funding the project.Ford is partnering with Xcel Energy to install 30,000 EV charging ports for fleet customers by 2030.“While other charging providers battle for market share and go through turmoil. Ford is a trusted resource with more than 120 years of experience,” Dave Prusinski, global chief revenue officer at Ford Pro, said. “Yet today we're reinventing ourselves daily and running at startup speeds.”Fans of small Italian vehicles rejoice as a revamped Fiat 500e is set to return to the U.S. in early 2024. The tiny vehicle boasts a 149-mile range, a significant increase from its previous 84 miles.Powered by a 42-kWh lithium-ion battery, the 500e includes a range of driving modes and safety features, like automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist.The little vehicle weighs 3000 pounds and even welcomes drivers with a digital tone that, according to the company, "sets the tone for an immersive Italian experience."Customers can buy the car from the Fiat Live Store without going to a dealership where they can interact with a “Fiat Genius” "The 2024 500e is a modern, tech-forward take on a beloved classic... Try not to smile when you drive this car," says Fiat CEO Olivier Francois.In a significant move for the AI industry, Meta and IBM have joined forces to form the AI Alliance, a collective effort to promote open-source AI development. This initiative includes major partners like NASA, Intel, and Yale University.The Alliance's agenda includes developing benchmarks for AI creation, building a catalog of vetted tools, and advocating their use among developers.Efforts will also be directed towards educating the public and policymakers on AI, along with launching initiatives for safe AI development.Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs, Meta noted when talking about the desire to have AI be open sourced, "We believe it's better when AI is developed openly — more people can access the benefits, build innovative products and work on safety."Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Should antisemitic speech be protected as free speech on college campuses in the U.S.? This is one of the questions the university presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania had to grapple with before the House Education and Workforce Committee yesterday. If Jewish students are afraid to go to class due to their peers' behavior, where should the line be drawn? On the Rundown, Attorney Mark Ressler, whose firm has filed two lawsuits against major universities over antisemitism on college campuses, discusses why his firm has taken action to address antisemitic speech on college campuses, how the university presidents testified before Congress, and his thoughts on why this seems to be happening more at Ivy League schools. Despite the Biden administration's continuous push for electric vehicles, the demand is steadily declining. The White House declared a goal to make two-thirds of all cars in the U.S. electric by 2030; however, reliable charging stations that these cars depend on are still few and far between. Wall Street Journal auto industry reporter Michael Colias joins to break down why the demand has dropped, explain why many people are hesitant to purchase an electric car and share why many fear the impact EV chargers have on the environment.

Tuesday is for inviting Michael Cirillo to the pod! We are covering a counter-narrative to the EV decline rhetoric, Alex Vetter getting cheeky on X, and crypto currencies experiencing a surge.Show Notes with links:BloombergNEF's latest zero-emission vehicle report, unveiled at COP28 in Dubai, challenges the narrative of an EV slowdown, highlighting significant growth and future potential in the EV market.EV sales are defying slowdown rumors, with worldwide projections to reach 14 million in 2023, a 36% increase from 2022. EV-only sellers such as Tesla and BYD are on pace to capture 7% of global sales in 2023.The U.S. market is showing remarkable growth with a projected 50% increase in EV sales this year.Emerging economies like India, Thailand, and Indonesia are rapidly adopting EVs, driven by affordable models in the US$10,000 range, and changing market dynamics.In the US, the Inflation Reduction Act has sparked $100B of investment in EV and battery manufacturing.One thing that has stalled are global commitments to phasing out ICE vehicles. Only 19% of countries have ICE phase out target dates, and the automakers committed to it only represent 32% of the market.Starting with a cheeky tweet, Alex Vetter, CEO of Cars Commerce, casts a skeptical eye on Hyundai's Amazon deal, emphasizing his company's superior capabilities in facilitating vehicle sales. In a candid interview, he critiques the pilot project's scope and its implications for the auto industry.Vetter's cheeky take on the deal: “@Hyundai — please dm me, we can enable ALL of your retailers vs 18 and do it with people actually buying cars, not dog food.”He stressed that car buying is a multichannel experience, doubting Amazon's ability to match the depth of research and advice provided by dedicated auto platforms.Vetter points out the PR benefits for Hyundai but is skeptical about Amazon's impact on actual car sales, highlighting the need for targeted digital platforms.He suggests that digital platforms like Cars Commerce are more efficient in reaching active car buyers, reducing the waste seen in mass-market advertising.It has been a while since we have talked about crypto, but the major currencies are seeing quite the rebound as Bitcoin jumps over $41k and Eth gets back about $2200. Experts believe the potential drop in interest rates by the Fed are impacting the crypto outlook as well.Bitcoin is close to its next ‘halving', a process in reducing Bitcoin miners every 4 years, which historically has led to record high values.But perhaps a bigger impact on Bitcoin's rise is increasing confidence within the sector that additional cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as soon as next month.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Sons of Speed Publisher Paul Herrold sits in for Jill this week. Paul and Tom opened the show talking about the discontinued Fiat 500X and related Jeep Renegade small crossovers. Tom asked Paul if he thought Jeep's recent sales decline came—at least in part—as a result of the brand's small, too-conventional crossovers, such as the Renegade, Compass, and Cherokee. Paul talked about four new Sons of Speed videos available for viewing at WeAreMotorDrive.com. The videos feature lap time at Road America race track, and include the Toyota GR Corolla, Volkswagen GTI, BMW M2, and Toyota Supra. Following up on Jill's EV charging issues from a week earlier, Tom shared a tale of similar frustration, including broken Evgo charging units—which were listed as operational on the provider's app—and Electrify America's over-hyped “Super Fast” charging. In the second segment Paul and Tom welcome Ram Communications Manager Trevor Dorchies to the show. Trevor updated the hosts on product in the Ram pipeline, including the redesigned 1500 pickup, the RAM REV electric pickup, and the extended-range plug-in-hybrid Ram Ramcharger. Also discussed is the new, ultra-luxury Ram 1500 Tungsten. In the last segment Paul is subjected to Tom's “Best Mileage” quiz, which includes a surprising Burger King bonus question. The hosts wrapped up the show by discussing why Tom's test vehicle, the 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, makes Tom want to shoot a water buffalo.

Greg Gutfeld celebrated for saying "two words" that aren't supposed to uttered on FOX— "Tucker Carlson". But Greg won't say these TWO WORDS: "PFIZER MODERNA". "Conservative" press ignores NZ whistleblower exposing the vaccine deaths even as the government SWATs his house and another whistleblower. That's the government way of verifying what he said Texans collect enough signatures to put secession on the GOP primary ballot. Could Texas go it alone? Could other states? The power grid has a greater vulnerability than EMP — cyberattacks. Here's what it would do and how easily it can be done. NYC begins the first step toward banning cars in the city — $15 to enter. And THOUSANDS in fines if caught by their new "NOISE CAMERAS". (The company creating them will be trying to partner with a government near you for highway robbery.) Trump brags that Drudge has gone down after criticizing him. Down perhaps for going left but it would have been much worst if Trump wasn't boosting views as he did for CNN & MSNBC Pastors pray for Trump in Iowas — but WHAT they pray for tells you about their heart, and Trump's. Trump says if "Jesus comes down" Trump would win easily. When Jesus "comes down" or Trump goes into the ground, the Presidency will be the least of his concerns Maduro considers invading his neighboring country — and puts it up to a vote. Pope wants to "de-masculinize" the church. He's way too late. But an interesting choice of terminology American Psychiatric Association admits they're not scientific in the latest whopper of a textbook for transgenderism The Fed Reserve is losing money but they set their own accounting rules. Surprised? Besides, they made over TRILLION dollars in the decade after 2008 Great Recession that THEY caused. Also, learn how the Consumer Financial Protection Board is funded which may explain why it is THE most arrogant bunch in the swamp Biden's IRS brags it will use AI to come after taxpayers — so WHY THE MASSIVE HIRING SPREE? It will be super aggressive. IRS just TRIPLED penalty for under withholding. A law unto itself NO CASH for Clunkers — EU to Seize Older CarsFirst bribes, then the banks and mandates. People don't want EVs so government will steal your ride. And don't think they'll let you drive or even possess your EV for long The ludicrous COP28 — 28th anniversary of lies, alarmism and NO CLIMATE CHANGE Kerry "Self-Ratifies" Another Treaty — It's Time Senators Call His BluffThe conservative site headline says "US Signs New Pact to Shut Down All Coal Plants". That's not the way the Constitution works. This is an existential issue that those who took an oath to the Constitution MUST oppose — Will ANY GOP Senators oppose this usurpation? The same issue will be presented in WHO Treaty Paris Climate "Accord" moved energy and manufacturing (our income) to China who is allowed to build as many (and as dirty, unfiltered) power plants as they wish. Now COP28 will transfer Western wealth (our savings) to 3rd world countries in the name of climate change reparations.

It's a new week, meaning new opportunities in the retail auto industry. Today we're covering why EVs cost more to repair than ICE vehicles, Northwood University's new Master's Degree, and McDonald's new restaurant spinoff.Electric vehicles (EVs) are proving costly to repair after accidents, surprising many owners with high bills and extended repair times.A recent Wall Street Journal article said that repairs for EVs are generally more expensive than gas vehicles due to the need for more replacement parts, complexity, and fewer specialized repair shops.On average, EVs cost $6,587 to repair post-collision, versus $4,215 for traditional vehicles, with insurance premiums also being higher for EV owners ($357/month for EVs vs. $248/month for ICE).Special considerations like lithium-ion battery risks and the use of exotic materials like aluminum in EVs add to repair costs and complexity.According  Scott MacFiggen's neighbor backed into his R1T pickup truck last summer, he faced a $22,000 repair bill and 2½ months wait, reflecting a common trend among EV owners.Despite current challenges, signs point to potential cost reductions as spare parts supply increases and more repair shops gain expertise.“People are used to hearing that EVs have fewer parts than a combustion vehicle, but that is not the case in collision repair,” - Marc Fredman, Chief Strategy Officer, CCC Intelligent Solutions.Our friends at Northwood University are launching a first-ever specialized Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, which will provide in-depth exploration of auto industry-specific challenges and leadership skills.Features automotive-focused readings and cases, interactive and experiential learning scenariosFrom the Auto Remarketing article: The program, designed for participants with diverse auto industry experiences, offers a path for graduates of Northwood's automotive marketing management and automotive aftermarket management programs, creating “a unified and comprehensive educational journey,” Northwood said in a news release.Flexible 24 month online format w classes starting on Jan 15th. McDonald's is further unveiling CosMc's, a secretive new restaurant spinoff, stirring intrigue and speculation in the fast-food industry and from one influential tik-tockerBased on a little-known McDonaldland character from the late '80s, CosMc's aims to blend McDonald's core essence with a distinct personality.The first presumed location is in Bolingbrook, Illinois, where a retro-style building and multiple drive-thru lanes can now be seen, hinting at a focus on quick service.Social media buzz suggests a shift towards McCafe-style offerings over traditional fast food, potentially challenging Starbucks.McDonald's has kept details under wraps, planning to reveal more during its investor day conference.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

If the US is going to supercharge its production of electric vehicles and its batteries, it's going to need a lot more graphite.Graphite is a key battery component, and currently, much of the supply comes from China — particularly when it comes to the highly processed form used in electric vehicles (EV). Amid increasing tensions, the Chinese government placed new export controls on shipments of graphite on Dec. 1. And the recent move is getting attention in North America, where companies are eyeing graphite deposits that could feed the domestic supply chain. Some 30 miles outside Nome, supplies for Graphite One's remote mining exploration camp wait at a staging area the company uses for its helicopters. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World That includes Alaska's Seward Peninsula, the finger of land in the western end of the state that stretches toward Russia and the Bering Strait.This past summer, US Sen. Lisa Murkowski traveled to the area, to what the US Geological Survey says is the country's largest graphite deposit. She flew in by helicopter to the remote site tucked between mountains and a huge tidal estuary.There, she visited an exploration camp that belongs to a Canadian company, Graphite One. With help from the US government, it could one day become the site of a mile-wide, open pit mine. In Nome, US Sen. Lisa Murkowski walks away from a helicopter that flew her to the Graphite One project, a mining exploration camp that the Canadian company is developing to build an open pit graphite mine. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World While construction is still years away, the project is getting a grant of nearly $40 million from the US Department of Defense to speed up its development — a step that Murkowski supported.“If we're going to talk electric vehicles, if we're going to talk about the contents of your cell phone, you're going to want graphite,” she said in a video she later posted to social media. “You're going to want American graphite. And why not Alaskan graphite?”Graphite One is among a number of mining companies developing new mineral deposits in Alaska. And while this work is supported by the US government, many of the companies are headquartered in Canada or elsewhere.Gracelin Baskaran, a mining economist at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the US has not focused on mining in “a very long time.”“We have actually turned to companies like Rio Tinto, Anglo American, BHP,” she said. “We turn to these giant mining companies, and sometimes we forget that they're not American.”Some of the Indigenous people with ties to the area of the Alaska graphite deposit would rather see the graphite stay in the ground. Teller and Brevig Mission are the two Iñupiaq villages nearby, and Brevig Mission is only accessible by plane or boat. The nearest full-sized grocery store is 70 miles away, so many residents subsist on harvests of salmon, moose and berries in the vicinity of Graphite One's project. The main store in Teller lacks fresh produce and charges steep prices for groceries, making hunting and fishing essential for the village's Iñupiaq residents. Credit: Nathaniel Herz/The World “The further they go into the mine, our subsistence is just going to move further and further away from us,” said Gilbert Tocktoo, president of Brevig Mission's tribal government. “Sooner or later, it's going to become a question of: Do I want to live here anymore? Or do I want to make a choice to move?”Graphite itself isn't toxic, but Graphite One is still examining whether mining it could generate heavy metals. The mining techniques under consideration pose a relatively low risk, said Dave Chambers, president of the Montana-based Center for Science in Public Participation, which provides technical assistance to tribal and advocacy groups on mining issues. But, he added, that doesn't mean “no risk.”“There is always a possibility for some sort of catastrophic failure — but that doesn't happen very often,” he said. “There's also a possibility there will be no impact — that doesn't happen very often, either.”Some residents of the nearby villages say they're open to the development.“If it's good and clean, so be it — it's money,” said Nick Topkok, a Teller resident.Topkok, who was taking a break from hanging salmon to dry on the beach in his village of Teller, said he doesn't oppose Graphite One. Four in 10 residents live in poverty in Teller, and Topkok said a mine would create jobs in a place that needs them badly.

Salmon are an essential food source for Teller residents, who must drive 70 miles on a gravel road to reach affordable groceries. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World He said it also might help the town finally get running water and sewer systems for the homes there; right now, nearly everyone in town uses what's known as honey buckets for their toilets.“It's money for 50 years or more,” he said. “I'll be dead by then. But it'll affect my kids financially.”Topkok's kids aren't in Teller right now. He said they moved away because there are no jobs in town. He's done some work driving boats for Graphite One in the past. And he said he thinks the mine can coexist with the locals and their fish and game harvests.“Anchorage, Alaska, you've got moose running around, you've got bears running around, they'll be adapted, you know,” he said. “It's going to take a year or two, and they'll be right there.”Graphite One's mine, if it's opened, would benefit the area economically. A regional Indigenous-owned corporation recently said it would invest $2 million in the project.But, ultimately, it's a foreign mining company that will be calling the shots — because Graphite One has the mining rights to the land, not Indigenous corporations or tribal governments. The Tuksuk Channel, which reaches inland to the Imuruk Basin and its surrounding tundra, is a vital area for harvests by residents of the nearby Iñupiaq villages of Brevig Mission and Teller. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World Graphite One's Canadian chief executive, Anthony Huston, pointed out that the project would come with other benefits: training, jobs and college scholarships.“I think to myself, ‘What can I do to give these people the potential for a job one day, the potential to put gas in their ski-doo, to be able to live and work and stay in their village, if that's what they choose to do?'” he said. “And that's where I see Graphite One really stepping in.”Huston said he understands the importance of protecting the environment and locals' subsistence harvests — and the company has spent some money to back up that commitment. Earlier this year, it decided to fly in fuel to its remote camp rather than barging it through an environmentally sensitive channel, which would have been cheaper. But objections remain. Conservation groups have challenged other large Alaska mining projects in the courts, and at least one has already expressed opposition to Graphite One. Company officials say they expect intense battles over permitting in the years to come.An earlier version of this story was produced by Northern Journal, APM Reports and Alaska Public Media as part of the Public Media Accountability Initiative, which supports investigative reporting at local media outlets around the country.
