"start liquidating the reserve" - That is classic! Must be -452.07 °F! —Preceding unsigned comment added by EncycBrown (talk • contribs) 18:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

... nice joke juggling with the word liquification. Besides, I recommend, if not °Celsius, to use Kelvin, as Helium-4 boils at 4.2 K, and Helium-3 at 3.2 K. So easy! --Helium4 (talk) 07:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Volume of the reserve

The lead sentence states that the volume of the Reserve is over $1\times 10^{9}$ cu ft. The final paragraph states that over $1\times 10^{9}{\it {{m}^{3}}}$ were extracted by 1995. Given the second value, shouldn't the first line be "over $1\times 10^{9}m^{3}$"? --Nucleusboy (talk) 21:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

The Impact of Selling ... http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=9860&page=43 (2000) says on p43 that the storage amount in Bush Dome reservoir is 1 billion scm = $1\times 10^{9}{\it {{m}^{3}}}$ as of 31.12.1996. (And 11% of that been privately owned.) This amount is taken into account of 6 billion scm classified measured reserves, which are part of the estimated resources of 16 billion scm (both again in the USA and per the same date 31.12.1996). --Helium4 (talk) 08:47, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Lemma starting with "Helium ..."

I recommend to establish the lemma "Helium - National Reserve" plus redirect up to here. That it can be found more easily. --Helium4 (talk) 09:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

reserve lifetime

I've heard the reserve is running out and that maycause market disruption.--108.28.128.83 (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Reserve Location

I wanted to find the location of the Reserve. However, the Coordinates Link led to a Bad Request page. Decided to tidy this up. Doing a bit of preliminary research I found that it is at the junction of Route 66 and Helium Rd. How can I ever forget that address.

Aha, problem explained. It would appear that http://tools.wmflabs.org/ is a bit poorly today. Hope it gets sorted soon. But, I am guaranteed never to forget that address.
