Helium is the waste product of every serious contender for a power-producing fusion reaction.
One of the great things about fusion is that it requires so little fuel to produce huge amounts of energy, though, and correspondingly would produce very little helium waste. So, probably not gonna be all that practical for propping up the commercial helium supply.
