@TSMC Arizona has a great source of welders and Rigger who have still after 5 years NEVER been to work at @TSMC all these local Arizonan’s looking for work but we are not good enough for this project? When is someone going to help us out. We are at our last draw.
Arizona is unrivaled in the advancement and scale of new chip investment taking place - with expansions across leading-edge manufacturing, advanced packaging, research and development, equipment, suppliers, workforce development and more!
Last week, Senators Mark Kelly of Arizona and Mike Lee of Utah introduced the Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025, mirroring the Critical Minerals Consistency Act reintroduced in the U.S. House by Congressman Juan Ciscomani in Arizona and Congresswoman Susie Lee of Nevada.
This bipartisan effort displayed by Lee and Kelly is a crucial step toward strengthening domestic supply chains by eliminating bureaucratic inconsistencies that create uncertainty for critical mineral producers. By aligning the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Critical Materials List with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Critical Minerals List, the legislation ensures that all essential resources—including copper—receive equal recognition and support for their role in national security, manufacturing, and energy independence.
For projects like Resolution Copper, NewRange Copper Nickel, and Twin Metals Minnesota LLC, this legislation provides a clearer and more predictable regulatory environment, allowing responsible domestic production to meet soaring demand. Copper and other critical minerals are the foundation of renewable energy technologies, defense systems, and advanced manufacturing. With global competition increasing, the U.S. must prioritize domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
By resolving inconsistencies in how critical materials are classified, this legislation will strengthen domestic supply chains, support American jobs, and bolster U.S. energy and manufacturing industries.

Thanks Angela Creedon @intel Boilermakers Local 627 Arizona was happy to host a tour of our Training Center during our weld testing this week. We can support Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Boilermakers specialize in construction and maintainenance for chemical processing and weighing vessels. Skilled and trained Riggers, Welders, Mechanics, Apprentices, and Helpers. We can help train and provide Local Arizona workforce and grow Arizona with skilled craft.
@krismayes Boilermakers Local 627 would like to thank you for the tour of our apprenticeship training center to see our members taking their weld tests for upcoming projects.

President-Elect @DonaldTrump announced plans yesterday via social media to expedite permitting for projects with private investments exceeding $1 billion. This could impact projects like Resolution Copper, Twin Metals Minnesota LLC, and NewRange Copper Nickel's NorthMet project are all expected to surpass this investment benchmark.
This initiative aims to streamline development and encourage substantial private investment in key industries in the US.

Huge thanks to SWSIE for an inspiring symposium on Long Duration Energy Storage! Honored to represent Boilermakers Local 627 on the workforce development panel.
Our Apprenticeship Programs are key to building a skilled workforce for clean energy! Ready to engage with communities & tackle projects that benefit us all! #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Boilermakers #LDES
Working hard on a MAJOR Coal fired power plant outages this fall for Arizona and New Mexico. We have the skilled labor. We need the developers to use our workforce. We’re ready for boots on the ground for clean energy projects. Carbon Capture Storage, Hydrogen, Chip Plants, Critical Minerals? Let’s get Arizonans to work.
@BuuVanNygren We’d like to thank President of the Navajo Nation, Dr. Buu Nygren, for his support of this vital study as we work together to find the best path forward for the Navajo people. https://t.co/ltkObwFkEe
