One would expect that mining technology has improved to minimize extractive projects' negative impacts on the earth, people, and our animal relatives. Unfortunately, this isn't so. The Thacker Pass mine is a perfect illustration: to extract lithium at the open-pit site, the mining company plans to pump the earth full of #SulfuricAcid, a process that leaches #lithium out of clay and stone. Sulfuric acid is highly #toxic to all living beings. ☣︎☢︎⚠︎⚡︎

Remember #OceanGate ?
Well, thats yesterdays news!
Killing #billionaires in the deep sea just isn't any challenge at all.
We can do better then that:
"#Söhnlein believes humans could live in that area IF a #SpaceStation could be designed to withstand the #SulfuricAcid in the clouds." (emphasis added)
Yea, that's more like it. Building a structure to survive a in an acid atmo, hangiging over a hellish hot place, closer to the sun.
And I was making fun of #SpaceGate.

Venus' #sulfuricacid clouds cool enough to host RNA and DNA bases, says study @PNASNews https://pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2220007120 https://phys.org/news/2023-06-venus-sulfuric-acid-clouds-cool.html
The rain on Venus is sulfuric acid.

"Without sulfur in the form of sulfuric acid, industries would struggle to produce the phosphorus fertilisers that raise farm yields or extract the essential metals used in everything from solar panels to electric car batteries."
"More than 80% of the global sulfur supply is a waste product, extracted from fossil fuels like oil and natural gas (which typically contain between 1% and 3% sulfur by weight) to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, the gas that causes acid rain."
