The Russian mega helium mine came online in 2021 after something like 5 years of construction and $15 billion cost. Semiconductor fabs and helium mines are going to end up having insane influence on the global economy in the next 20 years. It's possible that single plant will be the source of up to 30% of the worlds helium, maybe more. pentyne has issued a correction as of 20:25 on Jan 26, 2024 |

pentyne posted:The Russian mega helium mine came online in 2021 after something like 5 years of construction and $15 billion cost. I just looked it up and Gazprom did it and it's not a "helium mine" they're just adding the ability to separate helium from their existing natural gas streams, which is what I meant by a byproduct of natural gas production. Because until now if your natural gas had helium in it we mostly just didn't even bother separating it unless it had so much helium it was trivially easy and therefore profitable to do so.

Helium has been strategic for a long time and we should stop selling our stockpiles. FDR cut off American helium supplies to Nazi Germany, forcing them to use hydrogen in their dirigibles, which is why the Hindenburg went boom

The beautiful thing with the hollowing and marketization of all of this infrastructure is the blame gets difused. It's been a 20 year project and each admin can point the finger to bad planning and bad execution the next or previous folks did and kick the can down the road The same thing happened with all of the strategic pandemic response reserves, PHMSA regs and HAZMAT spills, and the 21st century US Moon and Mars missions.

Hindenburg was originally designed to use helium specifically in response to poo poo like R-101, and the US Navy operated a bunch of helium airships in the 1930s. Helium solves the flammability problem but not the other major issue facing airships: they're neither strong enough to weather storms nor fast enough to reliably avoid them. Edit: they are cool as hell though, especially the flying aircraft carriers the USN fielded: GotLag has issued a correction as of 07:53 on Jan 27, 2024 |

Joey Steel posted:Neon/xenon are mostly from a couple of air separations plants from the former USSR Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Impacts Gas Markets Critical to Chip Production | Perspectives on Innovation | CSIS www.csis.org posted:Recent Russian offensive operations along the Black Sea coast have forced at least two of the three major Ukrainian air-separation firms (Cryoin and Ingas) to shutter their operations in Odesa and Mariupol, halting a significant portion of the world’s noble gas exports. Ukraine is the world’s largest supplier of noble gases including neon, krypton, and xenon. Globally, Ukraine supplies about 70% of the world’s neon gas and 40% of the global krypton supply. Moreover, Ukraine supplies 90% of the highly purified, semiconductor-grade neon for chip production used by U.S. industry. China, Japan, and South Africa are among the other major suppliers of neon. Rare Gases (Krypton, Neon, Xenon): Impact assessment for supply security publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu posted:Russia and Ukraine are significant sources of rare gases (krypton, neon, xenon). Russia's invasion of Ukraine affects the rare gases supply. Industry stockpiles can mitigate the impacts in the short term. The supply disruption might be severe with associated price inflation until production capacity is developed elsewhere combined with conservation/recycling/substitution strategies to handle shortages. As Ukraine is a leading producer of purified neon gas, a critical input for the manufacture of semiconductors, neon’s supply disruption poses the greatest challenges. A neon scarcity worldwide could substantially impact industrial supply chains reliant on semiconductors. mawarannahr has issued a correction as of 01:41 on Jan 29, 2024 |

Don't be silly. The oil burned by intelligent life 200 million years from now will come from all the dead biomass buried during the climate apocalypse caused the oil we burned. That's the real cycle. https://www.cambridge.org/core/serv...ical-record.pdf quote:An intriguing hypothesis presents itself should any of the initial releases of light carbon described above indeed be related to a prior industrial civilization. As discussed in the section ‘Cretaceous and Jurassic ocean anoxic events’, these releases often triggered episodes of ocean anoxia (via increased nutrient supply) causing a massive burial of organic matter, which eventually became source strata for further fossil fuels. Thus, the prior industrial activity would have actually given rise to the potential for future industry via their own demise. Large-scale anoxia, in effect, might provide a self-limiting but self-perpetuating feedback of industry on the planet.
