The tree huggers ran our manufacturing out of the United States and now it's biting them in the rear end because China and the rest that are doing the manufacturing now have no regulations on pollution of their Power Plants.
Unions forced corporations to outsource American manufacturing....it wasn’t like corporations had a choice when China dangled the carrotThere are many causes for the export of jobs, starting with US corporations incentivized to maximize corporate quarterly profits all the way down to every American consumer who prizes getting cheap stuff cheap.
And yet Europe with its extensive unionized labor force still is able to maintain a strong manufacturing base with products in demand worldwide.Unions forced corporations to outsource American manufacturing....it wasn’t like corporations had a choice when China dangled the carrot

I agree with much of what you have said but I can't recall many (if any) European products I have ever purchased. Cars are the one products Europe exports but I wouldn't own one as I believe they are over engineered and not as reliable and cheap to maintain as most Japanese and some American cars. I would make the point that most of Europe gets there electric power from nuclear as they don't give in to the wack job anti nuclear morons like we do in the US.
You forgot they are also leaders in wind generation and wind generation technology.

In point of fact the US imports more from the EU than it exports.
Henry,
I'm lost on the point you are trying to make. The dynamics of trade between the US and other countries is always out of balance. The US trade deficit with China is 3x greater than with the EU. Based on your line of reasoning .....they would be the "best of the best" because we buy so much from them.
I don't believe in woke innovation. Germany has declared the billions that they spent on their wind turbines to be a failure. The taxpayers pay for the misguided political activism of Global Warming/Climate Change (or anything else you want to call it).
Where reasonable people can agree.....activism drives people to make stupid decisions "supported by settled science". Under Obama he gave almost $500m to Solyndra to "revolutionize solar panels in the US". It failed miserably and the US taxpayers were stuck with another woke failure.
I don't have a beef with an electric outboard. It might find a niche somewhere. By the way the US invented electric trolling motors:
The electric trolling motor was invented by O.G. Schmidt in 1934 in Fargo, North Dakota, when he took a starter motor from a Ford Model A, added a flexible shaft, and a propeller.
Also......their website hyperelectricmarine.com still doesn't load..........
If you can load the site on another device it’s worth a look. Really interesting pictures of the build.It may work on mobile but Chrome on my desktop still shows and says it is their server:
