Government Seeks Helium Monopoly Amid Private Gas Watch
Washington reports that the Bureau of Mines expects to limit helium search to private natural gas developments for traces of helium. A presidentially signed bill grants the government a near monopoly, expands the bureau’s powers to acquire properties and run plants, and allows sales for medical, scientific, commercial, and airship needs. Officials say Amarillo plant could continue at current output for 180 to 200 years, barring increases.

Helium reserves undeveloped in several states
Officials note undeveloped helium resources remain in several states including Amarillo where rock pressure fell two percent in eight years. Helium is found in Kansas Colorado Utah Montana and marginally Ohio. High separation costs have limited demand though medical experiments may raise future use. Legislation could boost helium use and aid lighter-than-air craft development. Ancient Egyptians tied the Nile to rapids halfway up the stream.
