arfink Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' timestamp='1343764906' post='2460774'] How the heck do you end up with a national helium shortage??? [/quote] Actually, it's because you have to mine it up. Seriously. And at the moment it's rather hard to find in earth's crust, which is about the only place to reliably find it on earth. The US built massive stockpiles of it years ago for scientific and military uses, but ever since those were sold it's kinda been difficult to track it down in quantities needed for some kinds of work. The huge influx of supply when those stockpiles were released made mining helium unprofitable for a time, and we're feeling the effects of that now.
