Not going to get any better, and not just for chips. A few weeks ago the Biden administration talked lithium battery production in the U.S., particularly in relation to electric cars.
In a move to appease environmentalists, Biden spokesmen said the administration was opposed to mining lithium in the U.S. and instead intended to import lithium from other countries. This is just going to make the U.S. dependent on foreign countries for lithium, and as we see with computer chips, it will be a recipe for disaster.
How imperialist of him. We’re worried _____________ will hurt our environment but we’ll pay you to hurt yours.
