Cool. The materials are there. It’s sand. Few other things, sure, but we have fuckloads of sand.
The limiting factor for chip production isn’t the raw materials, it’s that there’s only a handful of facilities in the world that can actually do it. Part of why there’s been such a push to build more facilities is that China really want to reincorporate Taiwan, where most of those facilities are based.
