Isn't "semiconductor" just an element, which is in like every grain of sand on the whole ass planet? How big is a computer chip? Size of your thumbnail?
"Shortage."
Not a semiconductor shortage. A production boycott. They hide behind language.
The shortage is of helium. There is no alternative to helium, and about a third of global supply comes from the Persian Gulf, mainly Qatar. Helium is crucial for semiconductor manufacturing due to its inertness, high thermal conductivity, and cryogenic properties. It is used in the cooling process, leak detection, etching, and cleaning. The semiconductor industry consumes nearly 10–15% of the global helium supply.
Helium's first ionization energy of 24.57 eV is the highest of any element.[2] Helium has a complete shell of electrons, and in this form the atom does not readily accept any extra electrons nor join with anything to make covalent compounds. The electron affinity is 0.080 eV, which is very close to zero.[2] The helium atom is small, with the radius of the outer electron shell at 0.29 Å.[2] Helium is a very hard atom with a Pearson hardness of 12.3 eV.[3] It has the lowest polarizability of any kind of atom

What in the GPT are you talking about? You're telling me they use up all their noble gas?
How many bridges you paying on?
Is part 2 of your argument coming out soon or is that it?
Silence is the best answer for a fool.
