“Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co announced plans in 2021 to build a $7 billion chip plant in Kumamoto in southern Japan’s Kyushu.”
Yep, TSMC was going to build a Microchip plant in Arizona - couldn’t find enough locals who could read, so they wanted to IMPORT their key workers from Taiwan - we said NOPE!
They’re gone...no Semiconductor Plant for Arizona.
I don’t know if Arizona has the surplus water for this project anyway. From what I understand semiconductor plants need a lot of water.
