How much energy does it take to mine tin and how available is it? I'd thought it was not all that common, but I might just be thinking of near-surface tin deposits near Mesopotamia.
- twic 10y agoLoads of energy - as much as two Cornish pasties a day! [1] More seriously, i don't actually know. I think of tin as being quite cheap. Note that it's a catalyst in this reaction, so you don't need a giant supply of it.
