They are 2MW windmills and Europe have many nuclear reactors stopped, those reactors produce around 1GW so it's not really an issue to find good sites.

The initial EUV technology was licensed by US government in the 80s, but after that most developments has been done by europe. High-NA EUV is an european technology made to replace EUV, so theorically US does not control it.

Open on what ? Only AMD and VIA have a license and this date back when IBM forced them to do it in 1982. Intel can provide products for inference but they are too much behind nVidia and AMD on AI training, they can only be third option if they can supply in quantities. It's unlikely for nVidia...
