The Institute for American Manufacturing & Technology (IAMT) produces applied research and policy analysis across three domains: artificial intelligence, energy & power, and manufacturing.
Three institutes. One framework.
Build. Power. Govern.

AI is changing hiring. Skilled-trades shortages aren’t going away.

I enjoyed representing the Institute for American Manufacturing & Technology at today’s iTECH Summit in Coeur d’Alene.
Great conversations with local manufacturers and technology leaders about what they’re building and what Idaho needs to keep growing.
Indiana has never had a nuclear power plant. This week it got two proposals.
Amazon, AEP and X-energy want to build a 960 MW plant on the site of an old coal plant in Sullivan County. And the state signed on to explore a second one with up to 6 GW.
Coal country, going nuclear. 🇺🇸

Stop offshoring critical technical work, especially to countries we cannot trust. Build the talent here. Keep the expertise here.
The systems our country depends on deserve more than the lowest bid. Domestic technical capacity is a national security priority.
The last two weeks in American building 🇺🇸
→ Northrop Grumman and the Air Force broke ground on a $4.5B expansion in Palmdale, CA to build the B-21 bomber
→ Applied Materials opened a chip equipment R&D center in Sunnyvale, CA. It’s the world's largest, per the company, with investment expected to reach $5B
→ Raytheon landed contracts worth up to $30.7B to ramp up SM-3 and SM-6 missile interceptor production
→ GSK is investing $800M+ in a Pennsylvania manufacturing hub, creating 300+ jobs
→ Southern Company and Core Power got DOE backing for a molten salt reactor experiment in Idaho that could reach criticality in 2027; the first of its kind if it does
What did we miss?
The most advanced AI chips depend on a part that's never been made in America. That's about to change.
GlobalFoundries signed a $2B deal with TSMC to make silicon interposers in Malta, New York. They're the base layer that connects AI chips to their memory, and this will be the first U.S. source.
Production starts in 2028. 🇺🇸

2. Large power transformers. Lead times for big grid transformers have stretched as long as four years. Every new factory, data center and power plant needs them.
4. Enriched uranium. The only commercial-scale enrichment plant running in the US today is foreign-owned. New plants are planned in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.
What else belongs on this list? We'll dig into the best answers in a follow-up.
Our full report on nitrile gloves: iamtpolicy.org/reshoring-nit…
1. Nitrile gloves. America uses over 100 billion a year and makes under 1% of them. Surgeons, chip fabs, food plants and munitions workers all depend on them, and the raw materials run through China.
Four things the American economy runs on that we barely make anymore. 🧵
What did we miss? Tell us below.
@Google just helped add 890 MW of nuclear power to the grid, without a single new reactor.
Google signed a 20-year deal with @ConstellationEG to boost output at 11 existing reactors across Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Constellation is investing $4.3 billion to make it happen.
More power from the plants we already have. 🇺🇸
September's jobs report was soft overall: 29,000 jobs added against expectations of roughly 90,000.
Manufacturing was a relative bright spot. A thread on what the data shows, and what's squeezing factories 🧵
The pressure is on inputs. The prices-paid index jumped to 77.9 from 71.1, driven in part by higher energy costs. Shipping delays and supply bottlenecks are also weighing on producers.
