If there’s a helium shortage, why can’t we make more by shooting electrons at hydrogen?

That’s just it. There isn’t. And Earth produces helium all the time through radioactive decay. That’s how it got there in the first place. There’s so much helium, it’s accessible in natural gas deposits, and we don’t even bother separating it out because it’s just not economically worth it.
We’re fine.
