Joe Biden speaks at a TSMC semiconductor chip factory in Arizona.<\/p>\n
An explosion was reported at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday afternoon, leaving one seriously injured.<\/strong><\/p>\n As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden made an appearance in Arizona in late 2022 before the plant opened to announce\u00a0a $40 billion investment while visiting the computer chip plant while struggling to read off the teleprompter.<\/p>\n Biden at Phoenix Computer Chip Plant: \u201cThree Nano Chips, Three Nano Chip, Chips That Are Three Nano\u2026 Anyway, Nano Nono, I Don\u2019t Know\u201d (VIDEO)<\/a><\/p>\n\n Earlier this year, Biden announced<\/a> another $8.5 billion investment with Intel for a major CHIPS and Science Act award and gave a rambling incoherent speech to a few rows of people at the Intel Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, Arizona.<\/p>\n This came after DEI \u2013 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion \u2013 killed the CHIPS Act.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it\u2019s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.\u201d The Hill reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers\u2019 apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.\u201d the Hill reported.<\/p>\n The far-left Guardian reported<\/a>\u00a0last August,<\/p>\n Posed in front of an American flag and a large banner reading \u201cA Future Made in America Phoenix, AZ,\u201d Joe Biden<\/a> told a crowd of assembled workers, supporters and media last December: \u201cAmerican manufacturing is back, folks.\u201d<\/p>\n Eight months on, the Phoenix microchip plant \u2013 the centerpiece of Biden\u2019s $52.7bn US hi-tech manufacturing agenda \u2013 is struggling to get online.<\/p>\n The plant\u2019s owner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest chip maker in the world, has pushed back<\/a> plans to start manufacturing to 2025, blaming a lack of skilled labor<\/strong>. It is trying to fast-track visas for 500 Taiwanese workers. Unions, meanwhile, are accusing TSMC of inventing the skills shortage as an excuse to hire cheaper, foreign labor. Others point to safety issues at the plant.<\/p>\n The Arizona project<\/a> is the flagship in the president\u2019s efforts to tout the law\u2019s effects and TSMC\u2019s promised $40bn investment in US chip production plant is one of the largest<\/a> foreign investments in US history and the largest ever in Arizona.<\/p>\n Despite the failure to launch, The Biden Administration celebrated increased funding under the CHIPS Act into TSMC’s Arizona plant in a press release last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now, the plant has exploded.<\/p>\n As The Gateway Pundit reported<\/a>, Wednesday\u00a0morning, a\u00a0barge also collided with the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas.<\/p>\n Disasters in Biden’s America are a regular occurrence.<\/p>\n AZ Central reports<\/a>,<\/p>\n Firefighters from multiple departments responded to a reported hazardous materials call on Wednesday afternoon at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.<\/p>\n Firefighters from the Phoenix, Glendale and Daisy Mountain fire departments were dispatched to TSMC, near Dove Valley and 43rd Avenue, about 2:30 p.m., according to Phoenix fire officials.<\/p>\n The call was made as a result of an explosion at the plant, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.<\/p>\n One adult male, who was reported to be a worker at the site, was taken to a hospital for serious injuries, authorities said.<\/p>\n This is a developing story…<\/strong><\/p>\n The post JUST-IN: Explosion Reported at Biden\u2019s Much-Celebrated TSMC Microchip Plant in Phoenix, AZ \u2013 Fire Units Respond to Hazardous Materials Call<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joe Biden speaks at a TSMC semiconductor chip factory in Arizona.
