That there is Uranium in Seawater

........................................................................................................................................................................................

That means we're all gonna die...right?
Oh wait...it's been there for millions of years.
We ain't dead yet...imagine that.

Not only is there Uranium in Seawater there is Thorium too, another radioactive metal. We should be double-dead shouldn't we? Haven't the alarmists said that there is no 'safe minimum' exposure to radiation? How come we're not dead yet?

Hormesis is a thing

Oh never mind, that's not the narrative. My Bad..

By the way...there are also a LOT of other stuff in SeaWater. 47 minerals and elements as a matter of fact.

Of course they are in very small concentrations. But that's all right. If a thousand parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere can't hurt us and make plants grow better what's a tiny bit of Arsenic in the ocean gonna do to us?

But I digress

Brine Mining is a thing. It's been done for thousands of years.

BUT WAIT!

Some smart lads have come up with a new technique to extract uranium from seawater

• It’s estimated that there is at least four billion tons of uranium in seawater, which is about 500 times the amount of uranium known to exist in land-based ores

and

• Wai says the fibers, which have affinity for more heavy metals than just uranium, can likely be used one day to clean up toxic waterways themselves. He says the fibers have potential to extract vanadium, an expensive metal used in large-scale batteries, from the oceans instead of mining it from the ground.

Imagine that.

One man's garbage is another man's treasure

If he can extract it.

don't forget the crab bucket
