No More Helium Filled Balloons

Forget "Peak Oil".  It looks like we are running out of Helium, the second most common element in the universe.  So says an article in The Washington Post this last week.

At the current rate of usage, "the world would run out in 25 years, plus or minus five years," Robert Richardson, a Cornell University physicist who won a Nobel Prize in 1996 for his work with superfluid helium, told a gathering of Nobel laureates in August.

Then what do we do?
