Original Note:
The articles headline claims that the factory will need its own coal plant. This is untrue, as the coal plant powering it has a capacity of 517MW. https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article277462213.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Kansas It is also important to note that EVs are cleaner even when using coal power due to thermodynamic efficiencies. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/mikescott/2020/03/30/yes-electric-cars-are-cleaner-even-when-the-power-comes-from-coal/amp/
