    On the plus side, remember, the big trucks are actually removing nickel from the ground! So there will be less contaminated ground later. Mexico is so much better since it’s not contaminated with silver, gold or copper. But I won’t see the day when it’s not contaminated with iron.

        Do pollutants become ore over time?..yes, ore is the lowest energy state possible in the wild, so that’s what the pollutants would become.
