Planeettamme , yhteinen paratiisi ihmiskunnalle vuosituhannesta toiseen , ja alkuaine Helium

 Maapallon alkuainerunsausdesta  Helium on sikäli erikoinen että sitä tulee maaperän radioaktiivisten aineiden  hajoamiskaavoissa  vuosituhannesta toiseen  stabiilia vauhtia ja se ilmakehään päästyään keveänä aineena   kaiketi nousee yläilmoihin ja katoaa avaruuden rajattomuuksiin. palaamatta, mutta avaruudesta  Aurinkon produsoimat heliumatomit eivät pääse   takaisin päin maata ympätöivän jonosfäärin ja magneettikenttien läpi, joten  Heliumilla ei ole  itseään uudistavaa   kiertokulkua . Tosin maaperän anekset pitävät vakaata   kosmisten aikojen stabiiliutta yllä planeetan suhteen. 

HELIUM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium

Toinen  asia on sitn se, että tekninen ihminen tarvitsee  modernin ajan  laitteistoihin  helium alkuainetta ja  tallentaa sitä  louhinta --ja ölynporaus ekä kaasuntuotannon sivutuotteista  .erityisissä kaasulaitoksissa jalostettuna  teolliseen käyttöön . Heliumin tuotossa on USA, Venäjä ja Qatar johtavat maat. 

Vasta meidän aikakautemme ihmiskunta on innostunut heliumin käytöstä valtavissa määrissä.

Aurinko omaa reaktorinsa, joka snetisoi heliumia ja anteliaasti  säteilee tätäkin partikkelia 800 km sekunnissa  avaruusvauhtia.Mutta tällaistga rfeaktoria ei  voi    maapallolla  luoda, siksi on koetettava  kaivostuotteiden ja fossiillisten polttoaineiden   esiin louhintojen ja porausten  sivutuoteena  tuleva helium otettava jotenkin talteen.


Onko  heliumia riittävästi?  Vau

Vaikuttaa siltä, että aikamme  sukupolvi on vaarantanut planetaarisen alkuaineen osuuden  , jossa kuitenkaan epäorgaaninen luonto vähiten cosmoksessa kärsii   ja biosfäärikin voi palata  ennen Auringon paikalleen asettamisen  jaksoon   syanobakteeritasoon jne  uudestaan energiatehtailun mitokondroaalisiin laitoksiinsa aikojen miljardeihin relatiivisiin vuosiin.Tosin niin suuri taantumus ihmiskunnan maapallonhoitokyvyssä  tapahtuu, että Maan   essentiellit  uusiutumiskyvyt  eivät enää korjaisi  välttämättömyyksiä, joita biosfääriin tarvitaan. Mutta kuitenkin tänä armonvuonna 2026 on maailman  Seemitj Haamit ja Jaafetit  tehneet voitavansa  Kaasunjalostuslaitosten tuhoamisessa puolin ja toisin, joten siltä osin heliumin  säästö on suuresti rajoittunut. Joten  turhaan  kauneuden hoitoon ei kannata kokokehovalokuvauttaa itseään MRI tekniikalla.. Ja muutenkin tulee harkita heliumin jalokaasun käyttöjä muun  hyödynnyksen ohella.

Wikipedia kertoo aikamme pyrkimyksistä:

Development of the helium industry

In 1914, helium was mooted in Britain and the United States as a replacement for hydrogen in barrage balloons and aircraft.[8]

The first major development in helium production was the Helium Conservation Act of March 3, 1925. It established a production and sales program under the control of a centralized entity, the United States Bureau of Mines.[1] Around this time, it was discovered that helium enabled divers to stay under water longer and ascend in a shorter time, presenting another application for helium. In reaction to depleting helium sources, the Helium Act of March 3, 1927, was established to prohibit the sale of helium to foreign countries and for non-governmental domestic use.[8]

By 1937, several factors collided to move the United States government to revise its helium policy and create the Helium Act of September 1, 1937. New uses for helium were appearing and the U.S. Army and Navy did not require anywhere near the national output. A final impetus was given by the Hindenburg disaster, which may have been prevented had the Germans had access to helium.[8] The act authorized the sale of helium gas not needed by the U.S. government. This ultimately led to an expansion in helium usage in many scientific and commercial industries as the Bureau of Mines also supplied helium to private entities. The passage of this act also allowed non-hostile foreign governments to purchase helium for their commercial use. When Nazi Germany applied for 18 million cubic feet of helium for public airship travel, this sparked a debate in the U.S., leading to a refusal.[8]

Throughout the Second World War, government demand still significantly outweighed private use and the supply was sufficient to meet government needs (230 million cubic feet in 1942).[8] By the end of the war, demand for helium had dropped precipitously and the operation of most production plants ceased. This led the Bureau of Mines to begin a helium conservation program in January 1945 by injecting surplus helium into the Cliffside Gas Field.[8]

Creation of the US National Helium Reserve

From 1917 to 1962, the Bureau of Mines was the primary producer of helium and it remained the sole purifier of helium until 1963.[1][2] Leading up to the early 1960s, there was a rapid growth in government demand in the United States for helium. It was fuelled by the military, especially for aerospace applications such as liquid fuel rockets for defense and space exploration.[1][3][2] The amount of stored helium was very small before 1962 and the amount of available helium was essentially determined by the production of natural gas, from which it is separated as a side product, rather than by market forces.[2][4]

This situation changed in the early 1960s with the creation of the United States National Helium Reserve.[3] At this time, the Bureau of Mines negotiated long-term contracts with four private companies for the first time to purchase and store large amounts of helium and it established an underground reservoir in the Cliffside Field near Amarillo, Texas.[1][2][3] The original purpose of this reserve was to store helium in the 1960s for government use in the 1970s.[3] To ensure that the revenue from future sales would amortize the cost, the Secretary of the Interior raised the price of high purity helium from $12 per thousand cubic feet to $35.[1][4] This price jump was an incentive for private companies to enter the market and sell helium at lower prices.[1][3][4] By 1970, it also became evident that the projected increase in government demand did not occur and that the helium stored in the Cliffside Field would last for decades. The combination of lower-than-projected demand and private competition resulted in sustained losses for the National Helium Reserve. In reaction, the government cancelled its contracts in 1973.[1][3] As a consequence, the industrial capacity utilization rate for helium production dropped from 104% in 1966 to 41.7% in 1974. The helium companies involved in the operation sued the United States government for breach of contract. The owners of the land containing the natural gas from which helium was separated as a side-product sued the government for the value of the helium, as they were unable to sell it to third parties.[3] In the 1970s the Bureau of Mines changed its policy to allow private companies to store helium in the Cliffside Field. This had a profound impact on the industry. Prior to this decision, roughly two billion cubic feet of helium were separated from natural gas annually and 0.6 billion cubic feet were sold. Three years after the decision, 0.88 billion cubic feet were sold, 0.54 were stored, and 0.98 were separated and vented. At the same time, roughly 4.74 billion cubic feet were not separated from natural gas.[3]

Helium Privatization Act

In the 1990s there was a rapid growth in demand due to the development of the electronics and magnetic resonance imaging industries. This growth continued at a slower pace until the 2010s, with the exception of 2008–2009.[4][8] National Helium Reserve sales led to fluctuations in both pricing and supply.[4] In this context, the Helium Privatization Act was passed in the United States in 1996. The Bureau of Land Management was given responsibility for operating the National Helium Reserve and charged with recouping the taxpayers’ investment by selling its crude helium to private vendors.[8][4] More recent legislation aimed at fully privatising the helium market requires that the Bureau of Land Management sell off the vast majority of the reserve during the next several years and cease its operations by 2021.[4] After problems with the helium supply in 2012–2013, the United States Congress acted to extend the life of the reserve.[8][7]

While formerly most of the helium production technologies were in the United States, additional producing countries slowly appeared, and Qatar, Canada, Algeria and Russia are producers of the gas.[9][7][4][8] In 2015, this new production resulted in a surplus of supply over demand.[4] The United States, which has historically been an exporter of helium, will soon become an importer for the first time in its history.[8] Since 2013 the world's largest helium hub is no longer located in the United States of America but in Qatar, which produces 1.3 billion cubic feet of helium per year from a single project and meets 25% of the global demand.[8] One challenge related to bringing new helium sources onto the market is that it usually requires venture capital financing.[8] Another challenge is that the current selling price of U.S. Cliffside helium is too low to encourage more new producers to enter the field.[8]
