Why build water heavy industry in Arizona?
Arizona has access to a lot of the larger rivers like the Colorado, so they can get water pretty easily, and then at least when I was in Arizona, I knew a business owner from China who opened their company there because of the relatively low tax rates. But they’re not super low from what I remember. Let me check. Yeah combined corporate tax rate of over 9%, which is apparently the 19th of the US for corporate tax rates.
Water access is there, there’s obviously tons of super cheap land for development, and the corporate tax rates aren’t so bad.
The water is there but already overpromised to existing stakeholders. Building thirsty new industries in a dry state just doesn’t make any sense to me.
Oh, and it looks like they have low seismic activity, which is important for such delicate precise manufacturing.
Arizona is trying to make itself the semiconductor center of the US.
Here are their own stated advantages: https://www.azcommerce.com/industries/manufacturing/semiconductor-advantages/
It is pretty funny that you think an expected and predicted timeline while opening a second factory is a bad omen for US chipmaking.
China gets all of their most advanced software and hardware designs for chip manufacturing from US tech. That’s been cut off now.
US gets it from Dutch tech. They can’t compete in the market so they bullied the Dutch into cutting them off. As usual with American policy, this will backfire and the Chinese will out-innovate everyone.

The fact that you genuinely believe that is the height of comedy.
Maybe that’s why I laugh whenever I see your propaganda
Looks more like seething and coping to me.
Given that those are your only two techniques of debate, that’s not surprising.
I’ve got nothing to seethe and cope about, I’m not the shill for the burger empire here. 😂
If you are referring to the US, then yes, you are clearly shilling elsewhere.
This is just a guess, but it could be for the dictatorship that you keep posting false data articles and articles about.
probably a good thing to offshore some of their manufacturing capability
Oh yeah, and the US will make sure Taiwan has everything they need to set up shop here.
