To power the US you’d need something like 7 tons of fuel per year if you were 100% efficient. You aren’t going to be perfectly efficient so in reality that number will higher, but we go through 32,000 tons of helium a year globally so the efficiency would have to be absolutely terrible in order for it to make a dent.
