B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Troiuble with heliumis that it escapes into space and is lost forever. Gravity don't mean shit to it.
If we ever get nuclear fusion, mind, helium will be so abundant that we'll all have personal zeppelins.

It won't really, though.Nuclear fusion is a very efficient way of producing energy. You don't need much hydrogen to liberate a huge amount of energy in creating helium*, so in the grand scheme of things a power station isn't going to produce that many balloonfuls of helium.
*other nuclear fusion reactions are available.
