## Resource

U.S. Steel is pouring up to $2.5 billion into its Mon Valley Works plant near Pittsburgh — a massive leap from their original $1 billion plan — as part of an $11 billion push to revitalize American steelmaking by 2028, following their acquisition by Nippon Steel. The government now holds a “golden share” to prevent plant closures or overseas moves, though officials say it’s unlikely to be needed. This historic site, birthplace of American steel, is being modernized to secure its future — though the announcement omits funding for the troubled Clairton Coke Works, still reeling from a deadly blast last year. It’s a bold bet on domestic steel production, backed by new ownership and national strategy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
