If these are underwater and the mining process on land is already extremely toxic. Does this mean that mining them underwater will release large amounts of toxins into the ocean?
- azinman2 9y agoMy limited understanding is the toxic part is less the mining and more the refining — the acid baths that raw material goes into to extract the metals. I’d assume that’d need to be on land.
