What has the growth out in Texas and Arizona been like in the last 20 years when it comes to chip production and technological investment?

Does this feel like a gold rush given the location, to be close to the southern border, the opportunity to be remote?

To Dr. Fowler - Given the amount of time it takes to get a chip factory online, is there a high risk in this investment to build factories?

What kinds of incentives - if any - are coming to these companies to build these factories in the Sun Belt?

Will more factories come as they see the possibilities here or is the door closing on this kind of opportunity?

Are there other areas of the country that are fruitful for this kind of tech investment as well?
