No new helium is being made on Earth. All helium storage facilities leak. (Helium can leak through glass!). Supplies are going to continue to decrease. It is a vital component of cryogenics used in medical and scientific refrigeration systems. Not a good time to be filling toy balloons with it.

helium is a precious resource that we’re wasting terribly… but what else is new.
