I heard over a year ago that a Japanese company was planning to build a 
silicon refinery (or whatever it's called) in the northwestern US. They 
were listed on the Japanese Stock Market but not the US. Cheap electric 
hydropower would be one incentive for that region.
Anybody ever hear of them actually coming online? I suspect they would 
have had an inside line on the future of silicon if anyone would.
