If science had been this interesting in high school, I may've taken more than just the required bio class. ;)<br /><br />I admit that I'm surprised to see how many elements are running low/out! As much as I support environmentalism and green energy, I don't actually know much of the science behind it (and certainly very little about chemistry in general).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345874849864173182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-50382430642995412742016-11-14T10:36:00.431-05:002016-11-14T10:36:00.431-05:00Oh no, seeing your post and the Periodic Table jus...Oh no, seeing your post and the Periodic Table just have me flashbacks to 11th grade Chemistry.

My husband is in the mining game and I already had an inkling of some of the information you shared but some is very new to me. I had no idea we were running out if helium, or even how it comes about, so that was a great fact! Phosphorus is also an incredibly interesting (and scary) fact that you brought up. Definitely gives one something to ponder. <br /><br />Great post! I'm coming back to read these every week from now on!
