>>…Ja, 18k reasons why it is hard, but at least 19k reasons why we will do it anyway.  Not necessarily in the Phoenix area.

>>…If you bring up a map of Nevada, you will see a big open area along that diagonal stateline from Vegas to Reno. 

 

 

>…Much of that land has been zoned for the last fifty years for blowing sh*t up, uhhh, I mean "ordnance testing and flight training." 

Even ignoring the problem of potentially spicy missing toys buried in the sand, the only bureaucracy in USGov that moves slower than the EPA is the military.

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, however the military is under the command of POTUS.  Things can happen quickly when that guy wants it to.  

 

The current one is well aware of the risk to supply chains from across the Pacific, and what must be done to mitigate that risk.

 

Darin do let me assure you: the USA needs domestic chip fab capability.  I consider that in the top three current investment opportunities.

 

Prediction: the US military will overcome any difficulties or obstacles presented by ordnance testing in Nye County.
