Helium floats up the agenda

A recognised expert on energy technologies, Dr Bill Nuttall is predicting a healthy long-term future for the helium industry, with the gas playing a major part in both nuclear fission and fusion. He discusses the tensions of an evolving hi-tech demand for the gas with its unsustainable traditional fossil fuel source. Among the conclusions he makes in his co-authored book, The Future of Helium as a Natural Resource, are that more gas will be needed, reserves will have to be conserved and recycling must be prioritised.
