Interesting that this comes on the heels of the US selling off a huge amount of helium to other countries just last month. Also, the fact that we are talking scarcities of ANYTHING is about as terrifying as it gets.
You aint kidding, Russia really gonna be pissed, but it is pretty wild that this discovery happen just after the deal goes down. Now there gonna have to create a new agency for Helium extraction, taxes, etc
Wait…wasn’t this well dug YEARS ago for precision metals and helium was first discovered at this site YEARS ago? Why is this news? They haven’t built an extraction system at the site (where helium has already been discovered before this ‘update’), so it seems odd the site is still deemed as a discovery when it’s years old… 🤔
I do not understand why the U.S. government sold the national helium reserve to private equity. We hadn't been ripped off in a while? Or maybe the private equity firm was run by former government administrators of the reserve?
Hilarious misapplication of words but expected in a region where mining use to prevail. The "discovery" was accomplished by drilling not digging and the helium is sequestered in a reservoir not a mine. 🙃
In a free market economy the vendor can choose to whom he wants to sell his products restricting the market will just cause a black market in helium balloons.
Hydrogen's very reactive, too. Tends to eat metals and react with stuff you don't want reacting. Helium's a noble gas, so it won't react with anything.

I believe they’ll soon find a uranium deposit nearby. Possibly hydrocarbons. We’ll see. Decaying uranium forms helium, as does the process that forms complex hydrocarbons.

I was wondering why everyone sounds like Mickey Mouse up north.
Now we can all sound like that! This is big!
That means that nearby is either a large pool of hydrocarbons (oil, gas, etc.) or uranium.
My bet is uranium.
Iron ore mines for the last 100 years.
This is fantastic news! The federal government unlocking reserves has made healthcare nervous.
You think these capitalists won't try to sell it off to the highest bidder?
Didn’t they sell it off?
This discovery is great news since helium is in very short supply due to the increase in clowns in the US.

If fusion ever gets going , we'll have an extra source of helium. And there is no shortage of H2.
na
Very, very good news for the US and particularly Minnesota. This is not just a 'flash in the pan'.
Congratulations. Good to hear of news that has value.
Sooooo the price of helium is going to go up or down? Boundary waters. Nothin to see here folks.
When they went to the first clip it would have been awesome if the guy talking had a high pitched voice.
No breathing in some Helium to get a squeaky voice ???
😂😂❤❤
I can't tell you how high this news makes me. I am a party balloon.
Wow, that's great news.
Ya no $100 balloon now

Look at that we’re getting a natural resource out of our own ground! Well, there is a novel concept
Jackpot
we have MRI for another 100 years
after that people gonna be pissed about those party balloons
We can all raise our voices with this find.

With how rare helium is it shouldn't even be allowed to be used on wasteful purposes like balloons

Jonah's a dynamite reporter. we're lucky to have him.
Did anyone hear an estimate of how much helium they are talking about? An amount or a dollar figure? *Great* reporting. Worthless but a great balloon.
It’s a gas!
Didn't the US just sell it's entire helium store?
It was sold years ago, it's just had a lot of paperwork to fill out.
We’ll keep finding them. We thought we’d run out of fossil fuels by now too
I knew they are holding out
Imagine all of those drill crews suddenly talking like Mickey Mouse.

Hydrogen is very lighter and cheaper that helium. But careful inflamable.

Yes, helium is an antigravity molecule.
