Dear Colleagues,

The ACS has provided a link to send your state senators an email regarding the regulation of helium. Follow the link below.

Our current status:
A helium refinery has opened in Qatar, but this only potentially covers a portion of our current helium needs. The US helium reserves are slotted to close though, which creates another shortage crisis this fall.
