An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Full Investigation Into Federal Helium Reserve Selloff

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I need you to launch a full congressional investigation into the systematic selloff of the Federal Helium Reserve in Amarillo, Texas. Every president since Clinton has drawn down and sold this strategic resource at below-market prices while China built its own reserves. This isn't partisan—both parties did it. Ultra-pure helium is the only substance that can cool superconducting magnets in semiconductor fabrication. There is no substitute. Without it, microchip production stops entirely. That means no phones, computers, military systems, or AI infrastructure. When helium escapes, it leaves Earth permanently and never comes back. Right now, Iranian missiles are hitting Qatari helium infrastructure. South Korea gets 65% of its helium from Qatar. Taiwan gets 69% from Gulf countries. Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC depend on this supply chain. Liquid helium evaporates from stranded containers in 35 to 48 days. China positioned itself to dominate when this collapses while we sold off our reserves. Documentation of the companies that purchased our helium, their lobbying connections, and financial ties is available at HeliumCartel.com. This is one of the most significant betrayals of American national security in thirty years. Investigate who profited, why this happened across multiple administrations, and what we can do to rebuild our strategic reserves before it's too late.
