Expert Statements

Jason Herring, Founder and CEO of VIVIFY Technology

“Every serious manufacturer in this country is asking the same question right now: where does the power come from? EM&T is rebuilding one of the most important supply chains America has. Our job is to make sure power is never the thing that slows them down,”

David Wilcox, Executive Chairman of EM&T

“Large blocks of reliable power are becoming the constraint no one in advanced manufacturing can ignore. Pairing a domestic critical materials supply chain with domestic, behind-the-meter power is exactly what this moment calls for,”

David Wilcox, Executive Chairman of EM&T

“Two Florida companies, one mission: End America’s dependence on foreign supply for the materials our industrial base and national defense run on.”

Byron Donalds, U.S. Representative and Candidate for Florida Governor

“Florida is open for business. Two great Florida companies are innovating today to solve for tomorrow’s energy needs and critical supply chains.”
