Expon3ntial you cannot replenish the reservoir as quickly as it depletes, not in the slightest anywhere near it! So it can never be perpetual.
Helium takes millions to billions of years to form from radioactive decay. It is in the earth's crust and slowly seeps up into reservoirs. That is why it is finite and so valuable.
Those are the scientific facts. So she is wrong and if you support her so are you, sorry. I suggest you do some research on other fields and life spans. Below is just a tad to get you started.
Key American Helium Reservoirs and Projections
Federal Helium Reserve (Cliffside Field, Texas): This historical primary U.S. reserve has been a key global supplier for decades, but its supplies have dwindled significantly. The U.S. government ceased selling helium to the public in September 2022, effectively ending its role as a major ongoing supply source.
Existing Production Fields (Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming): Other ongoing U.S. facilities, such as the one in Otis, Kansas, contribute to the current supply. However, most American refining facilities are expected to wind down operations within the next decade or so as known recoverable reserves become economically unfeasible to extract.
But yes, one would expect Ruwka to last decades.....at least. Believe BB's half truths etc at your peril........
