This is not that story.

This is a story that says it's possible.

And if the government writes you a check and gives you concierge service, which is what TSMC has gotten, then maybe everything comes together and makes it possible.

But this is not the thing that will convince anyone that it's going to be really easy to build a factory in the United States.

If you're in an industry where you're not being forced, essentially, to build a plant in the United States, there's a good chance you'd look at this experience and say, maybe we'll find somewhere else to put our next factory.

Peter, thank you very much.

We appreciate it.

Thank you, Michael.

I knew zero about recycled batteries, and that's rounding up.

Okay.

So I got a call from a guy at the examination, which is this relatively new

independent investigative newsroom that specializes in global public health.

And they have this really terrific reporter, a guy I'd never met, though I'd heard about him, Will Fitzgibbon.

He had done a fair bit of work already in Africa.

He was a lead expert.

He dug into the lead recycling industry.

And this is the industry that supplies a lot of the car batteries that we find under the hoods of cars in the U.S.

We're

used cars at places like AutoZone, Home Depot, Walmart.

And a lot of the lead that we're using to make car batteries in the US is coming from outside of the US because we've run out of supply domestically.
