description: "TSMC plans to build advanced semiconductor fabs in the proposed Shalun science park in Tainan, south Taiwan, which is focused on semiconductors and AI, media report, adding the park would hold 248.77-hectares of land, create 35,000 jobs, and aims to hit an annual output value of NT$2.2 trillion. Several environmental hurdles must be overcome for the park, including heavy power consumption estimated at 23.7 billion kWh per year (maximum load), enough to power a city, which may impact the southern power grid. Officials have asked TSMC to build green energy sources to help out. In addition, a protected owl and endangered pheasant live in the area, prompting protests that resulted in industrial-use land in Shalun being reduced by 28.87-hectares, and green space increased by 47.04-hectares. $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) #semiconductorsSource: Dan Nystedt"

TSMC can build the fabs, but it can’t negotiate with physics, the southern grid has to support them and the environmental approvals still have to clear. The owl and pheasant may be the smal
