Federal gov’t has no business controlling helium.

This is only 30% and much of the remainder is under control of US corporations, not foreign.

This article is lamenting the gov’t giving up power.

Federal gov’t has no business controlling helium.

---

At one time the U.S. was the sole source of Helium and because of its use in Zeppelins was considered a strategic material.

At the same time, as hard as it is to believe, most in the Federal government, including its political leaders, took it as a given, that America and Americans were exceptional and wanted only the best for us.

Today, such an attitude is considered extremist, xenophobic, ‘a threat to our democracy’, etc. etc. and condemned by all right-thinking people.
