Double scarcity... I am sure a better translation would be extreme shortage.
Like the heat waves that hit Texas and killed power. Hope they make it through safely and improve their infrastructure for the next heat wave.

My thoughts went immediately to new fabs having been announced in Texas.

Also, doesn't Intel have a shiny, new fab in Arizona? I think Ohio was a smart choice, for their next fab. The south & southwest US seem like rather inhospitable places for semiconductor manufacturing, lately.
