Are yous finally getting into salt and vinegar?
Try all they like, they will never manage indigenous Atomic Tomato chip manufacture.
So, I understand the want for solar, and thus being in a desert is great. But I’d imagine you want these facilities cooled too? In which case, why build them in deserts??

Big cheap plots of land.
But it’s a dry heat!
Seriously, low humidity sounds great for manufacturing fine components. And you can raise the facility temperature much higher for human comfort if it’s dry.
Water cooling sounds like a maybe problem?
Phoenix is cheap compared to LA or something, but not that cheap. It is geologically stable though, has relatively consistent weather, easy access to cheap nuclear power, and has a preexisting semiconductor industry.
You also need a fuckload of water and the energy to purify it all.
They’ve been trying to get chip manufacturing for like a decade. Not gonna happen lol.
What is this the third or fourth try?
