Arizona has chip fabs coming on line, (damn Joe Biden!) but construction of a fab and actually making chips at scale are two very different challenges.

Huge QC fail rates. Will not scale well.

Ok in a lab, but saying they will scale by 2027 is pure fiction.

Can't use X rays, they don't focus easily and blow through the wafers. The whole technology of semiconductors is hitting a wall anyway at <4nm because too dense and electrons will jump the transistors. This scale on nano fabrication is incredible and very cheap for what it is, but we are hitting a limit.

Uh...there would be no chip fabs without ASML in Holland.

The technology behind these 4nm chips and most of the lithography technology comes from EU.

And the nations Press Secretary to the President did a degree on a softball scholarship. Fusion power imminent!

Why do these articles ignore how much C02 air travel and shipping contribute? Both spew far more pollution than cars.

Oh fuck off. Not even local GO trains run that frequently and are not reliable. What is the point of these mega projects when there is no decent public transit on either end?

This will piss away tens of millions in feasibility studies, get progressively less affordable and will just have governments kicking the ball down the road. I've been hearing about this in some form or another my entire life and I'm old AF.

Who? Alberta's traitors?

There is no shortage of MDs worldwide playing scientist, and they can all be bought for a handful of shiny beads.

As if Albertans give a single shit about native rights.
