Arizona’s lifeline for chip manufacturing is drying up
摘要

亚利桑那州作为美国芯片制造业复兴的重点地区,将从科罗拉多河每年取水量中减少超过四分之一。这条1400英里的河流是该地区及西部其他州的重要生命线,提供亚利桑那州三分之一以上的用水。联邦政府近期关于应对河流流量减少的决定,对亚利桑那州及其干旱的沙漠社区造成尤其严重的冲击。自半导体产业起步以来,亚利桑那州一直是制造中心,台积电和英特尔正在此扩建大型工厂。

Arizona, an epicenter for the bipartisan push to revive American chip manufacturing, is about to lose more than a quarter of the water it typically pulls each year from the Colorado River.

The 1,400-mile waterway is a crucial lifeline for the region and other western states. A recent federal decision on how to manage its dwindling flow hits Arizona, and its already drought-prone desert communities, particularly hard. The river provides more than a third of the Grand Canyon State's water. Arizona has been a manufacturing hub since the start of the semiconductor industry, and now it's where TSMC and Intel are expanding massive factories to m …
