Good to know. Phoenix is home to Intel and TSMC fabs too. I was assuming they have this figured out, guess not.

  No, Phoenix absolutely has it figured out. There are suburbs which do not. GP is presumably confused.

    Chandler, where Intel’s fab is located, is indeed a suburb. And newer suburbs are being cut off entirely, because even the Republicans have realized the jig is almost up. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/arizona-limits-new-housing-phoenix-dwindling-water-supply-rcna87390 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/arizona-limits-new-hous...

    Arizona is actually working on a plan to bring in seawater from the Sea of Cortez, people forget that the ocean is only ~62 miles from Arizona’s southern border. It’s actually one of the more realistic and economically viable desalination proposals out there. The main obstacle are environmentalists. Unfortunately desalination (like Nuclear Energy) is to environmentalists like garlic is to a vampire.

      Right, because desal is totally environmentally sound. And sourcing your water through a country that kinda hates you (for flooding their country with guns, refugees, high fructose corn syrup, etc) is also a great idea.
