"If you put a chip manufacturing plant down in Lebanon, it doesn't need 50 million gallons of fresh water every day. They need some local storage, and they need to be able to reuse the water. When I mentioned that to IEDC, they were a little surprised that that was something that happened. … If you read the newspaper articles that have been published the last time Taiwan had a major drought, the government asked the semiconductor industry to not pull water from the reservoirs. And they said, Fine, we'll just use recycled water until we can pull fresh water." - Prof.

Thankyou Prof. for saying this. Chip plants already recycle water, why would the operations model be different in Indiana?

Great reporting Dave. But I want to point out how people are ok with regulations, when it affects our water supply, but health and safety regulations are government intrusion on people’s rights when it comes to airborne viruses, etc.
