Biden administration says New Hampshire computer chip plant the first to get funding from CHIPS law

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday it would provide $35 million to BAE Systems to increase production at a New Hampshire factory making computer chips for military aircraft, including F-15 and F-35 jets.

This is the first allocation of incentives from last year’s bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which provides more than $52 billion to boost the development and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States.

The Commerce Department’s choice of a military contractor instead of a conventional chip manufacturer reveals the national security focus of the law, as more and more weapons systems depend on advanced chips that could be decisive in both preventing and fighting wars.

President Joe Biden signed the incentives into law in August 2022 partly out of concerns that a military attack on Taiwan could deprive the world of advanced computer chips and plunge the U.S. into a recession.

Wow , wish they gave the first money to an American company and not a UK based one.

BAE Systems plc is a British multinational arms, security and aerospace company, based in London, England. It is the biggest manufacturer in Britain as of 2017. It is the largest defence contractor in Europe and the seventh-largest in the world based on applicable 2021 revenues

Read up on who BAE is and owns. Bottom line is the chips will be made here and not China.

Bhahahahaha 

so dumb 

How about Blackrock those are good Guys too right?

 

BAE Systems' 2022 Annual Report listed the following as "significant" shareholders: Barclays3.98%, BlackRock 9.90%, Capital Group Companies 14.18%, Invesco 4.97% and Silchester International Investors 3.01%.^[1]

The above responses are what’s wrong with Americans today.

Obviously this was a bad idea to manufacture secure defense chips in our country for our military, providing good (non drive up window shoving, entry level moronic MAGA jobs). Just let China keep having its way.

Thanks President Biden for caring about our country and its citizens and their financial well being. It’s something the selfish orange prick would never do.

Fuckin dolts here.

I would just rather see our tax dollars go to American companies. I don't think there is anything wrong with feeling that way..

[Mainecat]

Yeah bad idea all round. Let’s just toss out any company here with foreign investors. How about we do the same on Wall Street?

Americans don’t need jobs. Fuck them right?

Yeah build an investor wall….yeah that’s it.

Merica for morons….how about a new flag?

Wow….you sure are clutching your pearls over a few people wanting tax dollars going to American Companies.

Are there even any American companies capable of doing what BAE is producing in NH? I don't have a clue that's why I am asking

Do you honestly think that secure defense chips for military aircraft would be manufactured in china?

Raytheon most likely has capabilites.    

BAE bought up a bunch of the american military suppliers.   I'm good with that the brits are our #1 ally and like any company ownership is really worldwide.

Thank you, Jeff.  You have always been able to look at things objectively

Barry was up this past weekend and we had some good laughs about some of the shenanigans at the Beagle's Nest. Your name may have come up a few times. Barry mentioned the little guys waving the white flags out of Big Jim's and your suspensions after going through the bumps. Barry is still Barry

What research are you referring to ? Interested in your take , care to elaborate?

If you paid attention to the Biden economic plan instead of posting pro MAGA memes with members photos you wouldn’t have to ask me.

Now go do your own research….if you can.

So nothing got it.  

You never can explain anything. 

 

[Deephaven]

We have the design tech but gave away the fab tech.  Focus is in creating manufacturing of these here not r&d in the first round of funding.  Companies unrelated to semicon can apply

 

Sad part is we have to act like the Chinese to beat the Chinese.

Nothing from me. Get off your lazy ass and pay attention to the topic and a little research it might help you discuss important topics.

[Mainecat]

This was a bad idea for NH and our country…..you know cause it’s owned by wait for it………the Brits and oh no it’s traded on Wall Street…..and you clowns may have investments in it.

But yeah horrible idea.

Maybe a big Trump tower in Concord, NH would give you MAGAs boners? Just no illegals or Muslims workin there.

Just tell us your next door neighbor has a Trump flag and get over with it. 

FWIW if it creates jobs in NH I will say that part is great.
