Helium Cache to the Bank?
Helium is important for MRI and MRI is important to literally see what’s wrong with people. Think about it before buying a helium filled balloon. I wrote more about the helium reserve here:

So does this newly found cache of helium mean we can resume wasting helium in balloons? I think it depends how fast and how economically they can start collecting the helium.

It’s worth emphasizing that we can’t make helium and it’s so light that it escapes earth’s atmosphere. Unlike nitrogen, for liquid nitrogen, we can’t collect and liquefy it from our air.

If helium is rare and there is a shortage, why the hell are they allowing it to be sold to inflate balloons? O.o
That’s the $2 million dollar question, Terry McNeil.
vicky tran, helium is useful in science. So we don’t necessarily want to simply preserve it. Conserve is probably a better and is part of the message I’m trying to convey.
