Thanks for the perspective. It sounds like you'd run into the same issues (except for the electrical load) building any large industrial project, which does not bode well for your economy.

Correct. At the moment the expansion of ASML is halted because of nearby farmers that create a negligible addition to the GDP.

If the Dutch government was a bit smarter, they would buy out the farmers and create a mega-campus for ASML, including housing for all those expats.

Edit: I stand corrected, last month ASML was granted permission to expand by 20.000 employees.
