	Olson says: "Because most of the semiconductor plants have a limit of WPH (wafers per hour) there are only so many chips that can be manufactured per day, because of limited Equipment throughput (ETH)."

	Ober says: "In part, the shortage stems from cutbacks made to production from the start of the pandemic and now that production is increasing, knowing how many items to produce and how many to order is complicated. This can lead to shortages of items that were readily available before the pandemic. Chips like sophisticated microprocessors are not as affected but that does not help build a car if you don't have the simpler chips."

With this announcement, he set the big, bold target we need to scale up the industry - 30 GW by 2030. He also prioritized investments in port infrastructure and the supply chain, which will help the U.S. become a major manufacturing and jobs center for the world’s growing offshore wind industry.” Media: Lindsey Hadlock lmh267@cornell.edu 607-269-6911 Related Tip Sheet: Biden’s offshore wind goals ‘exactly what US needs’ (03/30/21)
