Secretive Giant TSMC’s $100 Billion Plan To Fix The Chip Shortage

Here's the copy provided by CNBC:
"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company makes 24% of all the world's chips, and 92% of the most advanced ones found in today's iPhones, fighter jets and supercomputers.
Now TSMC is building America's first 5-nanometer fabrication plant, hoping to reverse a decades-long trend of the U.S. losing chip manufacturing to Asia. CNBC got an exclusive tour of the $12 billion fab that will start production in 2024."

BLOGGER NOTE: Taiwan is off-shoring these fabrication facilities due to a severe Water Crisis on the island - why locate these 'fabs' here when they require billions of gallons of water in.areas of Arizona experiencing the worst Drought in more than 1,300 years??? GEO--POLITICS
