The U.S. found helium on Earth before anyone else. The military saw so much potential in this lifting gas that the government tried to keep helium a secret. There were code words like, "send more pups from the same litter." That meant send more helium.
The government started a stockpile of it. Now, helium is essential for space exploration, MRI machines and making our cell phones.
But there is a helium shortage. There are entire birthday parties with droopy, helium-less balloons because party stores are out.
Today on the show, a series of government decisions and counter-decisions that helped create that shortage. Also, we go looking for new sources of helium.

Subject: Important Message - Hepatitis A Outbreak
NOTE: You are receiving this email from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) as part of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Program. ADHS is sending the message below to our email distribution groups about a hepatitis A outbreak that is currently affecting eight Arizona counties. Please read the information below for more information about the outbreak and what you can do to help stop the spread of the disease.
Arizona, along with many other states, is currently experiencing a statewide outbreak of hepatitis A affecting 7 counties. There have been over 300 cases, primarily among at-risk individuals, including illicit drug users, people experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, and those who have been recently incarcerated. A striking 80% of cases have been hospitalized.
Hepatitis A is highly contagious, but it is also effectively preventable. The best way to prevent hepatitis A infection is to get vaccinated. Vaccination is generally recommended for:
· people experiencing homelessness or unstable housing;
· people who use drugs;
· people who have recently been incarcerated; and
· men who have sex with men.
Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis A virus. Symptoms include:
· fever;
· nausea and vomiting;
· abdominal pain; and
· yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).
However, some people with hepatitis A do not have symptoms.
Hepatitis A is highly contagious and spreads when a person unknowingly ingests the virus from objects, food, or drinks contaminated by microscopic amounts of stool from an infected person. Hepatitis A can also spread from close personal contact with an infected person such as through sex or caring for someone who is ill. People who are infected can spread the virus for about three weeks before and after symptoms appear.
In addition to vaccination, proper hygiene and hand washing can help prevent the spread of the virus.
If you would like to get the hepatitis A vaccine, or if you¿re not sure if you have had the vaccine, contact your health care provider or pharmacy. If you think you might have hepatitis A, contact your doctor.

IEEFA U.S.: April is shaping up to be momentous in transition from coal to renewables
Signs of a tipping point in national power-generation mix
The future of the U.S. electricity generation industry may have arrived, and it is not good news for struggling coal-fired generating plants.
This month, for the first time ever, the renewable energy sector (hydro, biomass, wind, solar and geothermal) is projected to generate more electricity than coal-fired plants, which totals about 240 gigawatts (GW) of still-operating capacity. According to data published this month in the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook, renewables may even trump coal through the month of May as well.
As the chart below indicates, the EIA sees renewable generation topping coal-fired output sporadically this year, and again in 2020. The estimates in the EIA outlook show renewable energy generating 2,322 and 2,271 thousand megawatt-hours (MWh/day) per day in April and May, respectively. This would top coal’s expected output of 1,997 and 2,239 thousand MWh/day during the same two months.
