You can make helium, it's just not very feasible. Make me wonder if the government has an alternative method to manufacturing it.

Nuclear fusion can do it, but producing that much helium from nuclear fusion would have to be done off-planet. Quick napkin math, it would release about as much energy as the entire planet gets from the sun in a month.

Easier to mine Uranus or Neptune I would think.
