Helium will be deplete in 10 years

Helium is the second lightest element we have ever found on Earth. It has lowest boiling point and it is the non-renewable precious gas that has many industrial uses, such as balloons that kids holding.

Helium is mostly form either nuclear fusion and fission, although there abundance of helium on sun because hydrogen nuclear fusion, but it is impossible to collect because sun is too hot. Another way to collect helium is through the radioactive decay, which mostly found in uranium. This process is very slow and extremely dangerous.

Many people doesn't known that helium is non-renewable resource. Once it was release into atmosphere, it is really uneconomically to recapture the helium gas. Unlike the hydrogen, helium is noble gas, which does not react with other elements and form bonds, and because it is second lightest element, there is no possible that helium stays in earth's atmosphere, simply just flows to the outside of earth.

There are a lot of science applications that require helium to work, and Nobel laureate Robert Richardson warns helium is depleting at an unprecedented rate."In 1996, the US Congress decided to sell off the strategic reserve and the consequence was that the market was swelled with cheap helium because its price was not determined by the market. The motivation was to sell it all by 2015," Professor Richardson said.

The main reason of helium depletion is that helium sold at very cheap price in commercial markets.Think about how much to buy a ballon?
