The governors of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas South Carolina, Alabama and Missouri asked Biden in a letter to follow foreign governments in urging semiconductor and wafer companies to expand production and “temporarily reallocate a modest portion of their current production to auto-grade wafer production.”
