Helium Shortage and Energy Costs Spotlight Tech and Utilities

Global technology and energy sectors face critical challenges as helium supplies dwindle, electricity bills rise, and hydrogen aviation advances.

America Has a #Helium Problem - Newsweek
Für Amerika haben die Störungen der Heliumproduktionim Nahen Osten zusätzliches Gewicht, da die Regierung keinen strategischen Heliumvorrat mehr hat. Im Jahr 2024 schloss das Bureau of Land Management (BLM) den Verkauf der Federal Helium Reserve im Rahmen eines Mandats des Helium Stewardship Act von 2013 ab, das die Veräußerung aller bundesstaatlichen Heliumvermögenswerte vorschrieb.

America Has a Helium Problem

“Over the past decade, helium has become more scarce and more expensive,” one scientist who relies on the element told Newsweek.

看来在 #peertube 方面,相比于 #chrome ,我会更喜欢 #helium 一些((

What a fun evening to conclude a whirlwind few days! My friends MolMol, Spider an I collaborated on a Hot glass hangout event with a melting ICE theme. It was nice seeing folks there :)
We were able to unite and use our collective skills to make something none of us would have made on our own.
I have been a part of an led a few glassblowing performance/ events and some of the more exciting ones are led by groups of people where much more can happen since there are more people leading and this was no exception.
This project finally got me to buy Helium gas, completing my collection of the noble gases. The helium glows a strange warm white, is very resistive and runs hot- perfect for melting helium people out of the blocks of ICE they are trapped within.
I told Spider, get good documentation and take this performance proposal to other glass centers- there are some with amphitheater hotshop stages and cameras

#Síra, #helium, #močovina, propan butan a další. V souvislosti s konfliktem na Blízkém východě se mluví hlavně o ropě a zemním #plyn-u, na úvod vyjmenované položky ale mohou způsobit mnohem větší problémy. https://www.investicniweb.cz/ekonomika-a-byznys/320245-suroviny-na-iranskem-spalku-co-vsechno-je-kvuli-valce-v-ohrozeni

Trump seems to miss that:

• Gasoline #prices in #USA have risen and will continue to rise due to disruptions in Middle East #oil supply, despite the US being a net crude oil & natural gas exporter

• Prices for products in general will likely rise for US #consumers due to higher #fuel costs (esp. diesel, which I posted yesterday)

#Helium & #fertilizer—both essential for US industries—are taking a supply hit due to the closure of #StraitOfHormuz

#Helium is a bit important though, so perhaps (#electrolytic ) #hydrogen would be better.
Der Krieg im Nahen Osten trifft die Tech-Branche an einer unerwarteten Stelle: Fehlendes #Helium aus Katar bremst die Chip-Produktion - und damit den weltweiten #KI-Ausbau. https://winfuture.de/news,157898.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Helium-Mangel: Iran-Krieg bedroht massiv den weltweiten KI-Ausbau

Die Chip-Branche will den Ausbau Künstlicher Intelligenz weltweit massiv vorantreiben. Doch fehlendes Helium aus dem Nahen Osten bremst die Produktion der Prozessoren stark aus. Das zur Kühlung benötigte Gas steckt fest, dazu sind Anlagen beschädigt.
