Helium Shortage Threatens to Deflate Balloon Sales
Party planners beware: a global but temporary helium shortage could deflate festive balloons this fall. The shortage affecting some suppliers results from a series of unconnected events, including delays in getting helium plants on line in Algeria and the Mideast, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said.
A key issue in the shortage involves contracts for helium supplies from a Qatar plant and two in Algeria which had been off-line, said Hans Stuart, a BLM spokesman. One overseas plant has been involved in lengthy maintenance and two are behind on construction schedules.
Construction Delays in Qatar...I am shocked! NOT.
Maybe they should stop building for the the Asian Games in Qatar and get to work on this helium plant. We need helium for our party balloons! I guess there won't be a big balloon release at the Asian Games in Qatar in December, or maybe there will be, so that Qatar can say - HAHA We have helium and YOU DON'T!
