    Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see in the article the reason why the stockpile I’d being sold. This I want to know.

        Thank you, and @Zworf for the info!
        I guess yay for public-private action 🙃but I guess I would prefer proper communal administration.

      The reason the stockpile was there was it being classified as a strategic resource during the time around WW1 and 2 when airships were a big thing. It’s just not really something the government thinks they need to be involved in anymore. Though you could argue its use is becoming more strategic again.

      But anyway I’m not defending the sale, I just believe this was the reason they wanted to sell it.
