Helium Wars: Why Are Tech Giants Fighting Over This Rare Gas?
By Michael Kern - Aug 09, 2023, 6:01 PM CDT

A daunting list of key industries the world over is now wondering where their future supplies of helium will come from.

What battery metals are to gigafactories, helium is to everything from scientific research, medical technology and high-tech manufacturing to space exploration and national defense.

None can survive without helium—a non-renewable natural resource typically recovered from natural gas deposits. Helium is unique among all elements because it can reach ultra-cold temperatures making possible everything from magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and semiconductors (which are now suffering from a supply shortage) to fiber optic telecommunic.....................
