From what I understand, due to the war in Ukraine we are actually currently in a medical helium shortage, it's like 4-5x the cost that it was a few years ago. I think that one release would probably cost the facility something like $50000 to replace
take it out of the pigs departmental medical insurance
Do tanks use helium or was there a helium source in Ukraine?
Not Ukraine, but Russia. The 4 main producers are US federal reserve (us gov not allowed to mine more and must sell reserves), Russia, Qatar, and Algeria. The shortage has been going on for over a decade at this point, but it still isn't "economical" for us businesses to increase helium production yet.
The helium source is in Russia, it produces like half of the world's helium I think
