That’s a lot of material! Will be interesting to see if this gets exploited.<p>As a welder and metal fabricator, I kind of wish I’d gon in direction of off-shore plant manufacturing, or even better working on a platform.<p>But where I am now I get to play with the other end of the process, I run 4kW ytterbium laser. So I get to use some of these rare-earths in production.
