Yeah...so lets put our crown fab in a desert that is slowly being reclaimed by the planet.

The entire fertile crescent is a desert that is being reclaimed by the planet. I don't see how Israel is in any better of a position, there: despite old narratives to the contrary, desertification is not any less of a problem in Israel than in other deserts, and as global warming continues there is growing evidence that in fact anti-desertification efforts in Israel are backfiring. Given the political situation, it's more likely that desertification can be obviated for the purposes of a fab in an American desert than in really any other in the world.

Was talking about Arizona seeing as how their top fab is being built there and things like this are happening:

But yes Dubai possibly, Israel, and the like are also goners long term.

>reclaimed by the planet
you mean the desert was taken away from the planet and the planet is claiming it back? where will it go?

We are all dirt that emerged from the planet. Sooner or later (probably sooner) the planet takes back what belongs to it.

Are you saying there are things that planet has that do not belong to it?

No I am saying we are all dirt that emerged from the planet. Sooner or later (probably sooner) the planet takes back what belongs to it.

But, we ARE the planet. It is arrogant to visualize ourselves and what we create as something external to the planet.

You are agreeing with me. As dirt that emerged from the planet, we are a subset of the entire planet and thus are subject to its whims.

We agree, indeed
