They are building a 12 billion dollar site in Arizona currently. Would you spend 12 billion on something knowing it was going to be doomed??

ruSSia was hopeful and Germany clueless - neither of them knew how things were going to unfold.

Perhaps Poland or Czechia knew instinctively that ruSSian culture is going to do the ruSSian thing... but not Germany.

They sensationalized his argument. He approved of small scale fabs for strategically critical chips but warns against trying to upend the whole supply chain. He argues the costs for that is an order of magnitude higher than current proposals and should be Renewed every year for more than a decade to have a chance. Otherwise it’s money down the drain. The current fab is only viable because US is funding half of it. In the big picture it’s not worth it.

...thats about 888 billion less than what TSMC's foundry in Taiwan costs, I thought. But I could be wrong, I'm not any kind of expert.
