It's known as bully tactics. The original form of cancelling.

Bring on Fusion. Fission had it day.

More excellent info. You're so great.

So 4 billion years have accumulated through the mantle ... lots to go round then.

Even more informative. You're so great.

Great hyperlink, very helpful.

Everyone complains about M$ making changes to M$ Office every few years but they swallow it in short order and the complaints vanish almost as quickly as they started.

Why is that? The only answer I know is because management, from the top down, say there is no choice. You're marked if you say anything openly at all.

Yet it gets done anyway.

Where do you think Helium comes from? It doesn't bind to anything so it can't be chemically processed like hydrogen say. So why do we have any at all? Because we already catch it is why. It comes free with oil and gas because it gets caught buy those huge sealed cavities of oil reserves. There's no real limit to continuing that capture, even after the oil and gas is depleted.

That's gotta be the dumbest thing to say: "Lets all welcome a pile of destruction."

Great explanation there. Very informative.

Helium stays pure in and of itself. One atom per molecule. It reacts with nothing. All need do is separate it.

I guess you didn't read my post. Those fossil reserves can be pumped dry while the Helium still keeps flowing.

There's lots of Helium on Earth. All we have to do is catch it as it seeps out. Conveniently, the natural sealed deposits of oil and gas do exactly that for free.

What makes you say it is irreplaceable? Is it because Helium rapidly floats up into space, never to return? Is it because Helium never binds to anything else and therefore has no home, the way Hydrogen has, before floating off up into space never to return? Is it because Helium shouldn't exist on Earth at all because it all went into space billions of years ago?

It's not like we can ultimately stop Helium leaving. Even if we emptied every last fossil fuel reserve, the Helium would still keep bubbling up from Earth's core. There's just too much to hoard it all.
