Sounds like BS to me.

Helium is an inert, and liquid helium doesn’t behave like a metal on Earth; its a nonconductor for starters.

Except for the vastly different pressures involved you might be correct.

droplets of helium condense out of the planets' outer atmospheres and fall to their centers as "helium rain," releasing gravitational energy.

Sounds like BS to me too, like too much gravitational energy hit their head. It seems likely some nuclear fusion is going on generating the extra energy. Jupiter is essentially a small star that failed to ignite.
