It seems a few years ago there were great fears of a shortage.

People who use helium in an industrial situation (myself, for example) don't "fear" a "possible" helium shortage, we routinely deal with a very real and current helium shortage. Over the past 20 years, the price of helium, on contract, delivered to my loading dock, has increased by more than an order of magnitude. In addition to the greatly increased price there are delivery limits which cannot be exceeded.

> What if someone gave them HYDROGEN instead??????? <

I taught chemistry for many years. There’s a quick and easy test for hydrogen. Place a small sample in an upside-down test tube. Put a glowing wood splint at the mouth of the test tube. If you hear a quick, very distinctive “pop” sound you know it’s hydrogen. You would of course do that in a safe area.

The key phrase there is “small sample”. A big sample…well, think about the Hindenburg.

In 1923, America started constructing the USS Shenandoah, designed by the Bureau of Aeronautics and based on the Zeppelin L 49.

Assembled in Hangar No. 1 and first flown on 4 September 1923 at Lakehurst, New Jersey, it was the first airship to be inflated with the noble gas helium, which was then so scarce that the Shenandoah contained most of the world's supply.

“Just don’t use it to float a dirigible “

Why do you say that’?

Why not just fuse hydrogen to get helium ;-)

Biden will make it illegal to extract the helium.

Maybe:

and planned sell-off of the strategic helium reserve at the Cliffside Storage Facility, 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Amarillo, Texas, through the Helium Stewardship Act.[7]

Helium is inert. The Hinderberg was floated with hydrogen.
