I’ve been told there is a shortage of helium and it’s a non-renewable resource. If this is accurate, why are we still using it like it is never running out and does the helium from the balloons go back into the air to be used again?
Yes, and then out to space. We are basically wasting an extremely rare and non-renewable resource, necessary for things like MRIs and other low temperature applications like super conductors, on temporary amusement.
