The Biden Administration has sold the Federal Helium Reserve, a significant subterranean stockpile located in Amarillo, Texas, which provides up to 30% of the nation's helium supply. This sale has raised concerns due to the ongoing helium shortage and the element's critical applications in various industries, including healthcare and national security. Helium is essential for MRI machines, which require thousands of liters of liquid helium to operate, as well as for the production of semiconductors and space travel. The identity of the buyer has not been disclosed, prompting debate over the transparency of the transaction. Previously, the government was paying $130,000 a day to store the helium, and the Defense Department began selling it off to the public following legislative efforts to compel its use or donation.
First the government was paying $130,000 a day to store it, then when lawmakers started writing legislation to force the Pentagon to use the material or donate it to states, the Defense Department quietly began selling it off to the public. https://t.co/ZuTkKpTY00

SHOCK: Biden is keeping the identity of the party that he sold the U.S. strategic helium reserve to secret. Should the American people be told who the buyer was? Was it a good idea to sell off America’s helium reserves? https://t.co/cExvAFIR5t
