Investing in America: A Future Forged of Steel

"A Future Forged of Steel" takes us to Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works, where a historic Pennsylvania steel mill is manufacturing key components of our electrical grid while actively reducing its emissions.

Since taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris have created nearly 16 million jobs. Thanks to historic investments through the Biden-Harris Investing in America agenda, hundreds of thousands of those jobs are in clean energy — transforming communities for generations to come. From heavy equipment operators to autoworkers, pipefitters to linemen, hardworking Americans are powering our nation and supporting their families with good-paying, quality jobs.

A Future Forged of Steel follows “A New Iron Age,” which spotlights workers at a new iron-air battery manufacturing facility located at a historic steel mill in Weirton, West Virginia. These batteries will store energy from renewable sources, delivering carbon-free electricity to more Americans. The Department of Energy has awarded Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works with 75 million dollars to invest in the induction reheat furnace project in our hot mill. So we will essentially replace two of those high-powered gas furnaces with induction furnaces.
