“Aren’t we running out of helium?”

No

The day we run out of Helium, we are in deep trouble.

Wouldn’t matter if it is for fusion.

>How much energy would actually be required, if
helium had to be extracted from the atmosphere? Using
the empirical relation in Ref [14], the energy required to
replace the net loss of 1.6 t per annum (2.2 t less 0.6 t) of
helium per power plant would be about 45 GWh p. a.
This corresponds to only about 1% of its annual output!
