Helium is sort of renewable in that it's continuously produced by radioactive decay underground. That will continue effectively forever. But we're using the easily accessible helium far faster than it's being produced. Much of the helium we capture as part of natural gas extraction is totally wasted, just vented into the atmosphere.


As we necessarily transition away from fossil fuels we also transition away from our primary source of helium.


IIRC you can also make it by effectively running small scale energy negative fusion reactor. How eficent and scalable that would be I have no idea.


Might also depend on your tolerance for radioactive isotopes.
