Is the US experiencing a High Tech boom? Decker and Haltiwanger (April 2024) document some important (and promising) facts (minithread): 1. A surge in new business entry since 2019. High tech industries account for a disproportionate share of that entry 1/3

“Unfortunately, Congress has thus far shied away from addressing the crucial roadblock illustrated by the Cardinal-Hickory saga: the litigation doom loop.” @ArnabDatta321 @EnergyLawProf slowboring.com/p/we-must-end-…
The “litigation doom loop” is a huge problem for clean energy deployment. Solar projects that receive the strictest level of NEPA environmental review have the highest litigation rate: 64% By contrast, fossil fuel projects only have a 32% litigation rate.
Construction Physics is a national treasure and the president should give @_brianpotter a medal or czar job or something.

Some great reporting on TSMC's growing Arizona presence and clashing cultures. Another reminder that clever industrial policy fiscal mechanisms may only solve for one of many possible binding constraints. restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-ariz…
In the CHIPS Act, the subsidies to manufacturing captured the headlines. But to build a dominant semiconductor industry in the future, you need R&D focused on moonshots, not just short-term onshoring. Enter the new NSTC
