  There’s also a fuckton of gold in the ocean, just waiting for someone to figure out how to filter the entire ocean and pull out the individual atoms. All at a profitable price point.

  Same with uranium. Which means it’ll never happen.

  We will have cracked fusion, mined the far side of the moon for helium3 and brought it back to terra before we crack that nut

  The environmental damage you will cause by digging shit up from the oceans, if that’s even possible, will be insane. Absolutely insane, completely bonkers, but it does prove once again that nuclear fanbois don’t give a rat’s arse about the environment.

    You don’t have to dig anything, it’s literally in the water, you could filter it out. In theory.
