Trump official warns they're putting the squeeze on #CHIPSAct winners
Commerce secretary wants bigger bang for taxpayers' buck
The $53 billion funding bill, which sought to reinvigorate domestic #semiconductor manufacturing, has been a point of contention for President Trump, who has previously called for the CHIPS Act to be scrapped and the cash used to settle the national debt.

End of #nuclear in #Taiwan fans energy security fear
Taiwan will turn off last #nuclearreactor, fuelling concerns over island reliance on imported energy and vulnerability to blockade by #China. Nuclear power once provided jalf of Taiwan's energy, with three plants operating six reactors across an island that's 394 km (245 mi) long and 144 km (89 mi) wide. Island depends almost entirely on imported #fossilfuels to power homes, factories & critical #semiconductor industry.

TechInsights: If The Average #US #Import #Tariff Rate Remains Sticky At 40 Percent, The Global #Semiconductor Market Will Shrink By A Third In 2026
#China remains subject to a punitive 145 percent import levy. TechInsights finds that the global semiconductor market would shrink by 10% to $696 billion in 2025, and to $557B in 2026, which represents a plunge of around 34% vs. the $844 billion market size projected under the base case scenario of a 10% global tariff.

AI chip manufacturing derails climate progress in East Asia

A new report has identified a spike in the #electricity consumption rates of artificial intelligence (#AI) chip manufacturing by 350% since 2023.

The research paper, published by #Greenpeace East Asia, notes that East #Asia bears the brunt of the #ClimateImpact of AI chip manufacturing. Asian countries like #Taiwan and South #Korea are leading hubs for #semiconductor manufacturing but soaring electricity demand is denting #ClimateChange targets.

Semiconductor manufacturing plants in the region are turning to #FossilFuels to power their operation. The combined global #emissions from AI chip manufacturing in Asia Pacific, particularly South East Asia, could cause the region to miss out on its environmental #sustainability targets.
