Fine, drop tires into the ocean. Those work.

I was just watching something that said this didn't work -- the bunch they
dropped in had to be removed or sumpn.

I believe all those tires will be a windfall one day. I have an idea that
when they solve solubilization of coal problem (or dustification or
whatever), tires will follow shortly thereafter.
Both have sulfur problems, tires of course worse than coal, but sheeit, the
sulfur reclamation, which is already done in power plants, would solve the
universe's requirement for H2SO4.



Send me your railroad car. I'll cut it apart and get enough out of it to
make my while.

We have the technology to take anything made of metal apart. Stick a
battle ship in my
back yard and I'll gnaw off enough to make a living. Might have to drill
the hull and
connect the dots with a hacksaw but I'll get No. 2 steel out of it.

Yeah, you'd be in 7th heaven with 15" plate, I'm sure.

Ahm not a mining engineer, but I don't understand Pyotr's claim of labor
intensiveness against recycling.
What could be more energy/labor intensive than mining/crushing/smelting and
all the rest involved in raw ore?

Not to mention we are in phase two of iron ore quality, where phase one ran
out in WWII. iow, today's ore density is like 1/2-1/3 of the WWII ore.
