Peak Milk.
Got Milk? Not Enough, as Dairy Demand Outpaces Output

The 14 percent jump in milk demand during the past seven years outpaced the 13 percent rise in oil use, according to estimates from the International Energy Agency in Paris. Producers can't keep up. Production costs rising. Chinese increase demand by 15 percent annually.

Peak Helium!!

Sanders Research Associates
Helium: a vanishing commodity
By Rui Namorado Rosa
Jun/01/2007

Very few people are a aware of the fact that a particular substance, displaying a number of unique properties such that has deserved a huge body of research since its discovery more than a century ago, and is now widely employed in a broad range of technical devices, is actually running short of supply. We refer to helium, the lightest noble gas. Its main source of supply is natural gas fields. As hydrocarbons are being depleted, and, in particular fields with higher helium content being tapped for helium, show declining productivity. Peak helium is contemplated very seriously.
sandersresearch.com

By the time fusion becomes practical, we will past the world peak in helium. The demand for helium for use by fusion reactors will soar and but by then it will be too late.
