On this episode of Stateside, we heard how the electric car and emerging battery sector is affecting Michigan's copper industry. Then, we learned how policymakers are looking to nuclear energy as a carbon-cutting measure. New owners of the mothballed Palisades nuclear plant along Lake Michigan are trying to restart it. Then, we were introduced to a Detroit podcaster and discussed her audio series called Black Her Stories.
