Laboratory results for a helium reservoir discovered in northern Minnesota suggest concentrations of the sought-after gas are the highest the industry has ever seen.

    Very little. The helium used in party balloons is a tiny fraction of helium usage.

    I’m not saying it’s okay, think gold leaf in food.

      I’m not looking this up to fact check myself but if I recall the helium used for party balloons is impure somehow, and is not the variety critical for other industrial uses.
