Well, go get it! We need helium to cool our superconductors!
Hook a giant balloon to it, fill it with helium, then lift Yellowstone up and carry away and drop it on the middle east. That way when Yellowstone erupts, it’ll be there problem not ours.
In the absence of harmonic tremor, isn’t the presence of helium a bad thing?
The article also reported find 2+ billion year old water in a deep mine somewhere in Canada. Does water aged that long taste better than newer water, or do they have find professional water tasters to distinguish the difference in bouquet between older and newer?
Oh, great. Now the entire earth is going to just float away in space. I blame Global Warming.
just in time for the new helium hard drives . . .
Don’t tell Al Gore…. his head will explode
“The amount of crustal helium coming out is way more than anyone would have expected”.
No way dude!
Way dude!
Oh wow, dude, that’s freakin awesome!!
So the goober in charge of the research just graduated from High School?
Way!
This would be an opportunity for an enterprising kids’ balloon vendor to set up shop ....
If it comes out too fast won’t we be facing a new orbit for earth???? I demand that all helium be banned immediately and only used by professional clowns.
What... there is a critical shortage of clowns????Clowns AND doctors??
On Earth, helium is typically produced as a radioactive decay product of either thorium or uranium.
Yellowstone alone could be causing all this global warming. Add to that the CO2 being produced by all the other volcanic sources and the human contribution is puny indeed. Someone better alert Al Gore and the EPA.
The amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere by Yellowstone, per this article, is approximately twice the total released into the atmosphere by human activity. Combined this release with the release of trapped gases by the uptick in volcanic activity and earthquakes during the prior hundred years or more, and it is pretty obvious that somebody is really mad at us.
