> The company announced Wednesday plans for a 1.7-million square foot plant in Virginia How much pollution will this generate? That's an often-overlooked factor in the exodus of manufacturing from the US. See, for example, the list of US Superfund sites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superfund_sites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superfund_sites

They claim it will be a carbon neutral plant. That is one key reason why offshore manufacturing was/is attractive, lack of environmental oversight. A plant built in thr US is subject to many more, much more stringent environmental and similar regulations. So a plant built in the US, Europe, etc. Will be by necessity much cleaner and environmentally friendly than one built on a country that does not have those same environmental regulations.

Responding to the comment on another thread, as HN still is not allowing me to reply to those messages (this is a copy of a comment there): > Your site has a paid subscription option, yes?

I just found them online a few years back and they have the free .pdfs of the volumes with the corresponding page numbers for the readings. If you know of a better resource for the books and the readings that have the correct corresponding page numbers, let me know. WalterGR, could you please stop flagging the posts now?
