Because solar and chip making is pretty hard on the environment. We don't do it here cause you need to process the waste to make it less toxic, so instead we buy from places that don't care.

Other countries have lots of advantages over the US, but let's not pretend that it's a utopia over there. Japan is so overworked and makes immigration so difficult they basically don't have a next generation.

Germany is great and all, but they also have a lot of imports, heck they almost froze last year due to their over reliance on cheap Russian fossil fuels.

Do you enjoy not knowing what you're talking about?

Intel, GloFo, TI, Micron, ON Semi, and NXP all have semiconductor foundries in the US.

One of the ten largest photovoltaic companies is based in the US.

Biden just dumped untold billions of USD into building out more domestic semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing capacity.

To be fair the majority of those things are still produced abroad, particularly Vietnam has a lot of semiconductor manufacturing, and biden dumping money into domestic production is specifically to try and fix the problem of outsourcing
