Suggestion - The three bullet points don't need to be labeled with words like "firstly" which come off as childish and are a waste as they add no meaningful content. You've identified there are three things in the statement above so just make the bullet points without numeric descriptors. It's more concise and professional looking.
Amazing how competent people can emerge from places where lead smelters operate right by crop fields, factories can burn for days before anyone notices, and plants have to be hand-pollinated because the environment is too toxic for insect survival.
"... which are not public, ..." Secret gov agreements. Ugh. And our gov is the one that's supposed to be open for public review. Hence the congressional records.
If I'm not mistaken, the US government tends to view certain efforts as impactful to the security of the nation state and consequently certain things are withheld from the public that would help to threaten that security should those things be disclosed. And, as we are all well aware, the general US public is lacking in both the intellect and analytical capability to comprehend and responsibly handle anything of importance. Those people cannot even understand that they don't "need" a gigantic, pollution, fuel guzzling vehicle to move their obese selves from one place to another and have instead fallen prey to marketing efforts to sell the most easily produced and highly profitable segment of automotive manufacture output through advertising that appeals to their base, simpleton instincts.
Erm, It is from "the general US public" that our leaders, "lacking in both the intellect and the analytical capability to comprehend and responsibly handle anything of importance," are chosen, and they are chosen by those some general public as well... soooooo what's your point exactly?
It's not like Intel is a national security company, although the US military *in military contracts* but not civilian ones, like this one, would need security by obscurity.
Also worth noting is that those who warn us of pollution, by traveling the country, do in fact, pollute more than the average citizen thereby weakening any point you or they have in regards to avoiding polluting.
Many millions of people operate larger than necessary vehicles for personal transportation. A comparably small number that you presume, without supporting data, travel to build awareness simply will not offer the same impact.
I will support that such thinking does help most of said simple sorts from feeling any guilt over their lifestyles, but it might be misplaced in light of the adverse impacts those thoughts and the actions they support will appear to have on the future survival and well-being of our species.
You mean like SUVs? There are people around here that drive those. They point out that the reason is because they are safer cars than compact vehicles (SUVs are normally classified as light trucks. Thus they're built for higher mass impacts). And considering how crazy people have been driving in recent years, in the US Florida, their concerns are warranted. I can tell you stories of accidents and experiences I or my family have had.
Regarding my lack of citation, above, I apologize. It was my own mother who warned me about double talk and gave that, and she does have a physical article discussing it, as an example. I'll see if she can find/recall where she read it and get you a link.
Ironically enough, the reasoning you're offering up to justify larger, heavier vehicles for safety mainly exists because of the proliferation of larger, heavier vehicles. As for driving, that's always been terrible, but thanks to population growth in the US and a lack of investment in transportation infrastructure, the arteries that carry vehicles are now insufficient. The per capita, if you will, of idiots at the helm of a vehicle hasn't really increased. Arguably though, the amount of weight and engine power at their disposal has increased as well - once again a state pushed by vehicle owners that are in turn pulled along into that thinking by marketing and peer pressure which only serves to stand out as yet another demonstrated example of human foolishness.
PeachNCream. Though I expect it varies from country to country, the vehicle problem is worldwide. And the biggest producers of CO2 are the big GDP countries, including but not only the US, though per capita paints a different picture too.
Let's do both! Those aren't mutually exclusive things that we collectively can address at the same time in both large-scale ways as a global civilization and in small ways we can impact through our own decisions.
Agreed. I must qualify it by saying that here in the Global South, and even a lot of the West, the first concern of many are the essentials of life before the luxury of worrying about Earth can even be reached. And don't get me wrong: I'm not advocating for a disregard of our planet.
Please take your misguided EV agenda elsewhere. This an article about the USA strengthening it's microchip manufacturing capability.
I find it ripe that you are unable to see you are the person you describe others as being.
Additionally, you've forgotten basic physics. EV's weigh at minimum 1000 pounds more than an equivalent ICE vehicle, be it a small sedan or a large truck.
I'm not sure what has you so angry at the world and that you think you're mentally/morally superior, but you're not.
I'm not an advocate of any particular vehicle technology, electrical or otherwise. Assuming as much based on what you've read says more about you than me. Instead, I advocate an analysis of need versus want in light of the adverse impact excessive wants impose on the collective community of persons sharing this planet. I'm not surprised you lack the analytical skills to determine that without being led there given that it's quite clear you're seeing to impose a particular viewpoint that is, for reasons I cannot understand, now a politically loaded matter in the United States, and bend it to present yourself as the voice of reason that you so clearly are not.
well played by Intel. Back then, it was absurd they were letting themselves behind vs TSMC and AMD. I think Toyota doing the same play, letting themselves behind on EVs.

Amazing how competent people can emerge from places where lead smelters operate right by crop fields, factories can burn for days before anyone notices, and plants have to be hand-pollinated because the environment is too toxic for insect survival.Smart people, indeed.

Perhaps the first question should be: Is Intel actually going to build them this time?I recently posted an article about the Ohio plant being given the go-slow approach. Perhaps more free money will change Intel's mind, though.
