would be good if it were any where but texas!
Texas has a bunch of advantages for manufacturing. Lawmakers are willing to work with firms, land is inexpensive and available while at the same time having lots of available workers, taxes are less, electricity is fairly inexpensive, and there is a ton of barrier island protected coastline for shipping ports. America's manufacturing rebuild cannot and will not happen in NY or CA, it is actively happening in places like TX due to such advantages.
Except no water. Which last time I checked is pretty important for making fabs.
