Moment of Truth Live at Reindustrialize (ft. Mark Widmar)
About this episode
Nick hosts a discussion with Mark Widmar about First Solar's impact on American manufacturing and the integration of AI in their processes.
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick hosts a discussion with Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, for a live impromptu recording at the Reindustrialize conference. First Solar is one of the most important American manufacturing success stories nobody is talking about, proving that, yes, you CAN build products in America. This semiconductor company has built six factories in the United States, employs 40,000 Americans across its supply chain, and generates $4 billion in annual payroll, all while going head to head with China on solar technology. Mark explains how First Solar has integrated AI into manufacturing at full scale since 2022, why the average job at their facilities pays $80,000 a year, and what it actually looks like to build a factory in a community that lost everything to deindustrialization. We hope you enjoy this rare conversation with someone who is actually building things in America right now.
