Seems morel like a land grab. No different than the mega rich buying up estate in Maui after the fire.

North Carolina Microchip Mines: A Critical Component of Global Chip Supply

The state of North Carolina is home to a unique set of mines that produce high-purity quartz, a crucial material for the manufacturing of microchips and semiconductors. The mines, located in the town of Spruce Pine, are the only large-scale source of this essential mineral.

Hurricane Helene’s Impact

Recently, Hurricane Helene brought catastrophic flooding and damage to the area, temporarily closing the mines and disrupting the global supply chain. The storm dumped over 2 feet of rain on Spruce Pine, causing widespread devastation and destruction of infrastructure, including the main CSX rail line.

Consequences for the Chip Industry

The shutdown of the North Carolina quartz mines has significant implications for the global microchip industry. Almost every advanced microchip produced today relies on this high-purity quartz during the manufacturing process. The industry’s reliance on this single region for a critical material has raised concerns about supply chain vulnerability.

Efforts to Restore Operations

Operators are working to assess damage to the mines and equipment, with the goal of restarting operations as soon as possible. However, the transportation of refined quartz to export markets may be challenging due to the state of infrastructure in western North Carolina.

Global Ramifications

The disruption to the North Carolina quartz mines has the potential to affect the global supply of microchips and semiconductors, impacting industries such as:

Technology: Smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices rely on microchips and semiconductors.
Solar Panels: High-purity quartz is also used in the production of solar panels.
Automotive: The chip shortage could impact the production of vehicles, particularly those with advanced technology features.
Conclusion

The North Carolina microchip mines are a critical component of the global chip supply chain. The damage caused by Hurricane Helene highlights the vulnerability of this single-source supply chain and underscores the need for diversification and resilience in the industry. As operations resume, the focus will shift to ensuring the long-term sustainability of these mines and mitigating the risks associated with supply chain disruptions.

Yeah that mine must be absolutely incredible hey. How is there only one of its calibre in the known world

It's been happening since the 1960s: https://tinyurl.com/44r3y883

Not to mention this is weather warfare. They've long admitted they can influence the weather and there's patents in the public space that even prove many of these. There are 2 sets of controllers vying for supremacy over the world and they use many different means of attacking each other. The Japanese earthquake was another.

Everything is being unveiled now. No more lies. The whole world will be shown for what it is. The Great Awakening was started around 2000 and is well on the way to fruition. Although most won't like what they find. They're too comfortable with the illusions instead.

Yeah I'm glad it's finally kicked into high gear
