Lead isn't recyclable?
- defrost 3y agoIsn't being recycled ... which is the real issue. Mining waste from copper, rare earth concentrates, minesite rehabilitation, safe tailing dams, etc are all things that in theory can be dealt with. It's not Mission Accomplished!! until they are actually dealt with though .. until then it's just toxic lead free to leach into water.

This is 1 lead mining region. This report would be enough to shut down uranium mining across an entire country if it was doing an equivalent amount of damage. And that is just the mining, not the dumping, where there will be further damage done. But fortunately the damage lead does is done by chemical reactions rather than radiation so it is cool and we can handle it rationally. People are crazy if they think any industrial process can be run without damaging the environment. The nuclear production chain may literally be the only place where we try.
