Resumen:
© The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.In the past few decades,Wind global manufacturing has undergone an unprecedented geographical shift. The industrial power base of the worldâ??previously located in Western, developed countriesâ??has shifted on a massive scale to countries in Asia, especially China, with their much lower labor costs than the United States and Europe. Globalization has streamlined the process of manufacturing and delivering goods produced in those countriesâ??at reasonable pricesPriceâ??to the rest of the world. But after working successfully for many yearsâ??at least in the economic senseâ??the verdict is less certain when you consider social and environmentalEnvironmental costs. This production and logistical model has been emitting an alarming, repetitive beep that the world is overly dependent on Asia for its needs, and way too exposed to the disruption and bottlenecks that can result from excessive reliance on a single source. This became glaringly clear with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Critically needed equipment and supplies to combat the viral spread were suddenly not available, as international trade was interrupted by mandated, precautionary lockdowns in both producer and consumer countries. We have an idea: instead of siting all manufacturing in China, Taiwan, and India, how about if we move it to the USAâ??Mexico borderUSAâ??Mexico border?.
