Not good at math or the science, but, how many mega tons of this stuff be at 10,000 sq miles of this stuff ?
If used for commercial purposes won't have to mine this stuff out of the ground, scoop it up from the water from a ship or used huge vacuums to scoop it up.
That's the size of either the state of Vermont or Massachusetts.

No reason to get excited. Judging by the one photo I've seen, the density of the material is extremely low. Gather it all together and it's more like 100 square miles; that's a square 10 miles to the side.

But that report would not be nearly as exciting for the idiot MSM reporters.
