Do you think it’s a good idea to invest based on resources which will become scarce in the future?

Hey guys!
I have been doing a lot of reading recently with the Strait of Hormuz situation and the oil price hikes (have exams coming up but I can’t get this off my mind)
And that’s when I realised that, aside from oil, there are a lot more resources that will (not may, will) surely become scarce in the future. So, along with AI, I have a list of them :
1) Water
2) Computing (for AI)
3) Semiconductors
4) Nuclear power
5) electrical energy
6) rare earth metals
7) rare gases (helium)
So with this in mind, do you think it’s a good idea to invest for the long term in stocks/funds which will benefit from a scarcity in these resources? Or are there other resources that can become scarce which I may have missed out on?
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
