Computer Chip Manufacturing And Water
a: Creating a computer chip ~
b: building a skyscraper one floor at a time
What: "Creating a computer chip -- be it for a laptop, camera, or microwave -- is like building a skyscraper one floor at a time"....This is a discussion about why microchips use a lot of water and how it affects local water consumption in places where there may not be enough water. I think this is why Intel has manufacturing plants in Oregon, next to the Columbia river.
Useful?
