Surging prices provide 'adrenaline shot' for Canadian helium industry
The global shortage of helium caused by the conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is providing a boost to Canada’s nascent helium industry.

Oh, the mighty helium shortage saga! 🌬️ Apparently, we need to install #JavaScript and order a side of #cookies to even begin to fathom this earth-shattering revelation. Who knew that the solution to global resource scarcity was buried in browser settings? 🍪🔧

Helium Is Hard to Replace

The war in Iran, and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has unfortunately made us all familiar with details of the petroleum supply chain that we could formerly happily ignore.

One of the initially less obvious consequences of Trump and Netanyahu's reckless war on Iran, with potentially wide-ranging effects across the world:

"right now roughly one third of the entire global supply [of helium] is completely trapped."

From @Sidherian, a useful outline of implications for healthcare, semiconductors, aerospace:

The Medical Nightmare MRI machines literally cannot function without liquid helium.  It is the only substance cold enough to keep their massive magnets from overheating and destroying themselves.  Hospitals worldwide are bracing for a reality where life saving diagnostic scans just stop happening.

Not just balloons: Why the Iran war could cause a global helium shortage
Helium, which is considered a critical mineral, is under pressure as the Strait of Hormuz has remained impassable throughout the conflict.
