Fusion produces much, much less helium than that. D-T fusion that produces 100kg of He-4 would produce something like 25PJ of net primary energy. If you managed to turn 20% of that into electricity, you'd have 5PJ. This is within an order of magnitude of the yearly electricity consumption of the entire world.
