Wonder why #DJT tariffs on #Canada far exceed those on #China?

Quoted details I saw today from a report by a lead #Economist with a key US #Investment firm warning investors #SiliconValley isn't where our silicon security comes from:

It is hard to overstate the degree of leverage #Beijing has over the U.S. #economy – ...For example China’s control over key raw materials includes over 60% of global #silicon for #ComputerChip mfg.

They have already experimented with export bans on #RareEarth #minerals and other key raw materials for the tech industry.

#AI and [#ComputerChip] Manufacturing Drive #Japan's #Nuclear Energy Expansion

By ZeroHedge - Dec 11, 2024

- Japan's #Shimane nuclear reactor has restarted for the first time since the 2011 #Fukushima disaster, marking a significant step in the country's renewed embrace of nuclear power.
- Tech giants like #Meta are actively seeking nuclear power solutions to meet the growing energy demands of their #DataCenters and AI initiatives.
- The global resurgence of #NuclearPower is driven by factors such as increasing energy needs, the push for decarbonization, and advancements in nuclear technology.

"The world continues to 'warm' back up to nuclear, with the latest example coming out of Japan, where its Shimane nuclear power station in western Japan has been restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima meltdown.

"Japan's long-delayed restart of the 820 MW No. 2 reactor at the Shimane plant, shut down since January 2012, raises the number of operational reactors to 14, with a total capacity of 13,253 MW, according to Reuters.

"#TohokuElectricPower also recently resumed operations of its 825 MW No. 2 reactor at the #Onagawa plant, reducing Japan's reliance on liquefied natural gas and thermal coal.

"Reuters writes that the expanded use of nuclear energy is expected to support Japan's growing power needs, particularly for #semiconductor plants and AI-driven #DataCenters."

Spruce Pine in North Carolina has been devastated by hurricane Helene — more than 2 feet of rain has destroyed roads, shops and cut power and water.

It’s America’s (and effectively the world’s) sole source of high-purity quartz used to create the crucibles needed to produce semiconductors and photovoltaics.

This may have huge ramifications for production of computer chips and solar panels.

This book was surprisingly good, especially the end as it talked less about the history of #computerchip manufacturing & more about the degrees to which (1) chips undergird economies & #militaries, (2) we are increasingly dependent on east Asia for #chip manufacturing, (3) #china tries to steal chip making secrets, & (4) different countries can leverage their supply chain positions against each other.

WRITER FUEL: Elon Musk wants to put a chip in someone's brain:

Brain implants developed by Elon Musk's company Neuralink have been approved for human testing. The safety of the devices previously came under scrutiny following reports of "botched surgeries" in animal test subjects.

Major #ComputerChip equipment maker #ASML says a former employee in #China stole information about its #technology.

The #Dutch firm says it has since reported the breach to authorities in the #Netherlands and the #UnitedStates.

The company added that it does not "believe that the misappropriation is material to our business."

ASML is one of the most important firms in the global microchip supply chain. It makes machines that produce the world's most advanced chips.
