# Phil Kornbluth

A helium industry consultant cited in the source for providing an *optimistic* scenario: a 2–3 month shutdown of [[concept-qatar-ras-laffan-chokepoint]]. Even under this best-case framing, the speaker emphasizes that the disruption would still cause massive global supply chain rearrangement.

Kornbluth's reference is used to bracket the downside: 'this is what happens if we get the optimistic scenario.' See [[question-fab-inventory-survival]].
