Seems like long term the human race is going to lose this ability if something serious is not done to reduce the complexity of building these things. This pandemic has shown that everything is super fragile and with Climate Change on the horizon I cannot believe they decided to build this damn thing in Arizona of all places. Maybe the collapse people were right and we should be working on CollapseOS

What makes Arizona a bad place vs other places it might go to? No place will be spared the effects of climate change. Water use is a concern, but it sounds like they plan to recycle nearly all of it.

Arizona is already nearing the edge for what constitutes livable. If something isn't done to mitigate Climate Change soon, I can start to see land being abandoned. This is such a critical factory and a disruption will have massive ramifications. They probably built it there due to tax breaks that may not matter anymore in the future if climate change wrecks havoc.
