For one, we already give it away. The biggest customers of ASML are not European as it is.

Second, it will bring in billions for the European economy and it will allow ASML to better hold its leading position in the long-term, since China won't need to compete with ASML. That's beneficial for the European economy

Third, how does it hurt us?

If the USA is gonna be a prick, then I propose we give Russia and China EUV technology in exchange for peace in Ukraine.

Bibi is hoping the hostages all die soon in a way that the blame isn't put on him.

Then he can proceed with his final solution.

Zionists really are the Nazi's of our time.

Totally agree.

It's nearly impossible in rich areas for young people to afford a family sized house and daycare.

We need to solve those problems if we want young people to have families.

And even if the Supreme Court does rule it to be illegal, the only way to remove him is through impeachment.

That ain't gonna happen.

And if it miraculously did happen, then J.D. Vance would pardon him and continue the grift, just in a little bit less obvious way.

Bingo.

The idea that CEO's will put morals over profits is hopelessly naive.

If you want companies to act morally, you need to implement legislation and be willing to enforce that legislation. And not small million dollar fines, serious fines like 10% of revenue and personal liability and even jail time for executives.

But the American public only cares about having the stock market go up. They don't care about their data.

We have long passed the point where lobbying and bribing were just doing your fiduciary duty.

And indeed, it seems we are back to feudalism and you have to pay tribute to the divine king and kiss his ring.

You guys have your heads so far up your asses, billions of subsidies for renewables were "sabotage".

If only even more billions would have been thrown against it, surely then it would have worked.

German anti-nuclear religion is so persistent and dogmatic, I'd rather debate the Taliban on Islam.

Luckily the smart Germans are changing course, as polls continue to show.

Germany is the obvious evidence for that claim. Their once great industry is doing really bad due to high energy prices. Which is why even they are second guessing the Energiewende.

Despite insane levels of investment in renewables, they are still stuck on gas en lignite and have very high energy prices.

Merkel's bet that Russian gas could always be depended on didn't work out.

The "expensive" argument is bollocks.

It's not too expensive for China, South Korea, Japan, the USA, France, the UAE, Iran, India, Russia.

The countries without nuclear will deindustrialize and the countries with nuclear will outcompete them.

People really don't understand that climate change is worse for life on this planet than a million Fukushima accidents.

Even Japan is restarting their reactors

Solar and wind are great, but major industrialized nations will need some nuclear capacity.

It's going to happen sooner or later.

The question is just about how long we delay it, with extra emissions and economic depression in the mean time.
