I don't know enough about the industry to know if superfund sites are a necessary thing for chip fabs. That said, these chips have to be made somewhere. Is your solution to this to create superfund sites in other countries? To me, th

I think it depends upon the kids and how far you have to go for adventure. I grew up in San Jose and when we were in elementary school, we would take our bikes to the surrounding hills all the time, anywhere from 1-10 miles. One of my brot

The other problem is how do you create the moratorium? If it's related to "how you used to do business", new companies would quickly wipe out old companies. If its by industry, new industries could wipe out old ones not bec
