„The current legislation is much different, focusing on direct allocation of funding to important parts of the PCB manufacturing industry. The direction of the provided funding is consistent with the points identified in the IPC’s Leadership Lost report. How that funding will be used and the effectiveness of a $3 billion sum remains to be seen, especially when we consider the huge hurdles to overcome. According to the IPC report, the US share of global PCB production was 30% in 2000, yet it has fallen to only 4% over the past two decades.“
