Helium shortage ?

According to this article the world could run out of helium by the year 2030. Since helium is a noble gas, it can’t be produced, except that someone starts nuclear fusion on the large scale. The article also mentions that balloons filled with that gas are currently much too cheap and people don’t mind about recycling helium. So will the next generation of children only know balloons from text books? Can only the millionaires buy their kids a balloon? Will there be helium thefts?
We will see what the future brings. Maybe we can fill the hot air produced by politicians into those balloons :-)
