(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Pulsar Helium is now engaged in a serious investigation to make sure they can extract the gas and distribute it. The latest measurement indicates an even higher concentration than 12.4%. So far, all very good news.
There's a billion-dollar market for helium. Since the global supply is shrinking, this discovery has global significance, according to the CEO in yesterday's video. It's the only element on the planet that is completely non-renewable.
As the "safest and most effective coolant around" in liquid form, and unreactive, it's critically important for industries relating to the study of materials.
Minnesota's Dept. of Natural Resources will have to write new regulations from scratch - because they've never had to oversee helium mines before.
