Because we’re wasting it on party balloons. It really is a critical strategic resource; it’s nuts to be selling off the reserve. It’s vital for a lot of rocketry.
But here’s my question, that a quick search doesn’t answer. With the increase in natural gas production from fracking, are they capturing the helium along with it? Does this solve the problem? Or is the artificially low prices making it not worthwhile to do so? The other question is, are there places where it’s easy to mine in the solar system? For instance, how practical would it be to skim Saturn’s atmosphere for it?
It is possible.
In one easy graph.
It’s very vicious circle (as often happens when the government gets involved).
Like the Ex-Im Bank, this is another place the federal government could profitably be pared.
The GOP has to make a decision whether it’s going to continue to continue to accept the Democrats’ cronyism, or be the party of free markets. And yes, defunding the Ex-Im bank would be a nice first step. If people really want to buy Boeing airplanes, they’ll find the money.
What if they aren’t really “fossil” fuels? I’m skeptical on this, but maintain an open mind. If Gold is right, it’s a huge game changer, not just technologically, but politically. Of course, it will just send the carbon loons further around the bend.
Proponents in California, getting desperate, are having to revise their appealing lies.
So, apparently, I’m not skeptical about the need to wreck our economy to save the planet because many of the scientists promoting it have been shown to be frauds and hacks. No, it’s because I’m a threatened, “conservative white male.”
What would I do without professors of sociology to explain such things to me? I particularly love the “98% of scientists” line. Because, you know, science is all about majority opinion (and no, even if it was, I don’t buy the number).
