It's a shame we can't make some use of all the hot air coming out od Congress as a substitute.

At least we'd be spared more of this:

So... I shouldn't be inhaling the stuff?

[PublicAnimalNo9]

No you shouldn't. Helium can kill when inhaled.

Helium doesn't really kill you. It's the lack of oxygen that will do that.

Never suffered any ill effects from a party balloons worth of helium...

[PublicAnimalNo9]

Helium is a simple asphyxiant and thus displaces oxygen. Too many inhales over a short period will kill you.

Yes Captain Obvious I'm aware that inhaling a massive amount of helium will kill you.

If Richardson's predictions are correct and nothing changes, the world could be out of cheap helium as early as 2030.

The world will run out of cheap helium. But let's go for the alarmist headline first, m'kay?
