    > We’re not selling anything at all in Europe. That’s because Europe isn’t investing and because no chip factories are being built there

    Will Europe accept being a manufacturer only? Or will they finally pick up with a late comer advantage? We need to wait and see.

      But luckily Germany saved the world by shutting down their power plants for good

        Tinfoil hat, I know, but I'm convinced that Germany hating nuclear power was a Russian influence operation.

          It was already decided in 1998 to phase out nuclear power under the SPD–Green coalition. They passed the Nuclear Exit Law in 2002.

          It’s mostly the Green Party’s fault, as they have been vehemently anti-nuclear since their inception(1970s).

            Ok. Soviet influence operation.

              Why do you think that in 1998 Russia was not influencing Germany to use its gas?

              Moreover, Russia and its coopting of the German Left and Greens is well documented.

              Maybe... but let's not forget the 1986 event.

                And we mustn't compare it with the ecological impact of using gas in a democracy instead of nuclear under a communist regime

              what's wild about this(not coming at you :), just in general wanted to post ) .... folks pick various details but i think sometimes miss the big picture. If they can make current/next gen HBM with similarish PUE... idk that DUV vs EUV vs 5nm vs 3nm matters?
