wikipedia1: the oil industry flares 150 × 10^9 cubic meters natural gas annually, wikipedia2: the concentration of helium in natural gas varies in a broad range from a few ppm up to over 7%.
assume average 0,1% of flared gas is helium: 150 x 10^6 cubic meters goes to waste every year. that must be a huge amount of balloons that the oil industry is taking away from the kids, somebody care to calculate ? will somebody think of the children !
