1. Maybe we can all float away in balloons some day.

   1. Can I breathe in some helium and talk like a valley girl? Helium is a key part of my “transition” into another sex.

2. Drilling is down a bit in SK

   There’s a pun in there somewhere.

   1. No laying pipe? Ht/DavidWilcox

      1. I still have that video on VHS somewhere. Observing his facial expressions, I am suspicious there could be a double entendre intended. Possibly triple.
         Not a big star ever, but he had some solid stuff.

      2. Who doesn’t like David Wilcox?

   Why drill when you can simply buy from Venezuela for cost + shipping like Amazon but with slightly more slave labour.

4. Why did the US sell off its helium reserve years ago?
   I believe it was under GW

5. Aren’t they drilling for Lithium via extraction from water?

6. Look at the bright side. Sometimes when drilling for helium, companies strike oil & natural gas.
   Maybe the oil companies should simply apply for permits to drill a few thousand new helium or lithium wells.

7. There are only a couple of places that helium can be found. One is at the very top of the atmosphere, the other is a product of radioactive mineral ores degradation. The last several years there has been a huge drop in the supply of high purity helium that is required to do a lot of scientific research. Almost all gas chromatography requires helium. The only alternative is hydrogen gas, but it being highly flammable is a big problem.
