Helium discovery a 'game-changer' - BBC News

Shield Arc says we can weld Aluminum with DC TIG if we use helium. Well, maybe the price will go down some now.!

Not to mention all the other uses for this rare element. We can't make it. We have to find it and separate it from the methane.

Don't start dancing yet. They seem to know it's there but don't have it yet.

The amount of helium is estimated at more than 54 billion cubic feet - which could potentially meet global demand for several years.

The next step is to find the best place to drill to exploit the gas and bring it to the surface.
