Moses Lake, Washington - Carbon Fiberizing...

Anybody live in or near Moses Lake?

I'm interested in hearing about the new carbon fiber plant that BMW is building there for their all new EV.

Maybe figuring out some routes for future dumpster diving too...

You would often see large 747 just flying in large circles as they trained foreign pilots. There was talk of making it a major Air Freight Center, but that never materialized......

I would suspect BMW is interested because of cheep electricity. Cheap due to all the nearby dams on the Columbia River....Google, Yahoo and other have large computer centers out in the desert in the area there for the same reason......
