Helium is one of our planet's scarcest natural resources. It is created as a byproduct of billions of years of radioactive decay, and cannot be replaced once it is used.
The United States has the world's largest reserve of helium, which is located primarily in the Southwest. However, the Helium Privatization Act of 1996 began a rapid sell-off of the country's reserves to the private sector.
If nothing changes, Earth will run out of Helium within forty years.
An incredible amount of low-temperature science is dependent on helium. Particle physics, condensed matter physics, and medical technology all rely on helium. Without it, all of these areas of research, which are responsible for much of today's technology, will stop.
Please do all in your power to stop the sale of this resource.
