    Techs to operate these plants aren’t going to be cheap - hopefully the techs can work together and get a good deal out of the new competition

      Semiconductor manufacturing is something you absolutely can ‘not’ cost cut on. The level of labor and capital intensity required is enormous.

        Yeeep! I did a two year program where I actually designed and fabbed myself some small things in an actual semiconductor research lab. It was quite the complicated place, and being that close to near pure hydrochloric acid was scary stuff.
