The US needs more fabs in more diverse geographical locations. AZ seems like a poor choice given the water situation. TX may have similar issues. Maybe some fabs in Canada would also be a good idea?

As I understand it, the Fabs in AZ are a net positive for the water situation there. They are incredibly responsible users (especially compared to agriculture)
The major reason for them being in AZ is constant(ish) weather, cheap land, workforce, and cheap power.
