In a wide-ranging conversation, Miller discusses the impact of the Biden Administration's "America's Supply Chains" task force and the Department of Energy's National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, and the types of strategies manufacturers need to be adopting to stay ahead of the game when supply chain disruptions occur.
