Demand for helium is on the rise but supply isn’t keeping pace.
Makes me think of all the ways I have used helium and how easy it has been to take it for granted.
Unbelievable that this resource is largely at the mercy of the U.S. congressional wrecking crew.
David Archer if only it were the strategic helium reserve. There are plenty of things at their mercy to completely fubar.
Good news the Senate passed a bill to keep the federal helium reserve going. Now I hope the GOP in the House don’t hold it hostage.
