There are things that are above environmental causes, and one of them is national sovereignty. There is a war in the development of semiconductors. The US has embargoed NVIDIA from selling to China. However, I believe that these multi-billion dollar companies are obliged to find solutions, without interference from the state, so as not to pollute the environment.

We are led to believe it is a national security risk but one might ask why has the USA offshored everything?
Intel was dominating the semiconductor market until they started playing fiat games and making decisions that destroyed their market advantage (like turning down Apple to make chips for the iPhone)
So if it is for national security they shouldn’t operate at a profit then. Since they are socializing their factory development

Correct, it should be a government company, but they followed the orders of the American government for fear of retaliation... what do you think would have happened to the company if they denied this express order
