The sort of dust you’ll typically get by burning metal is so small it’s almost a gas rather than solid particles. And I don’t think aluminum oxide or iron oxide produce radicals or cause things like acid rain.
lol it was a skit on tosh.o

I said it because I feel dumb when it comes to knowing how thigns like burning metal happen- lol
[[So how much energy does it take to refine iron powder?]]
It takes 2 tons of energy to create one ton of powder, but they can make it up with volume production
(huh?)
(Had a friends who’s passed now say things like “It costs 2 dollars to make a one dollar item, but they make it upon volume” lol)
Stupidest idea yet!
Burn petroleum and you get CO2 and Water vapor.
Burn metals and you get metal oxides that create acids, noxious smoke and other nasty smelly things.
Anyone who’s ever lived by or even driven by a steel mill knows that everything in the area takes on a stench and a hue from the metal oxides.
We're slowing down!
That’s funny.
here’s the Tosh.0 clip of the turtle kid- pretty funny-
http://tosh.cc.com/video-clips/jiof7g/i-like-turtles-kid
When a vendor would say, 10 for $100; 20 for $180 etc. I would ask how many I would need to buy to get the price down to $0.
It won’t be long before the hand-wringers will fret about an “iron shortage”.
It also requires coal to produce iron from the ore.
In any case, it is a fuel that requires more effort to attain than it gives in return. It is not an energy source, but a way to store energy at some cost for later use.
Lol! Thanks for the clip of the turtle kid. Sounds like what I would say when I was a kid (or what Biden would say to most questions). When stumped with a question, say “I like turtles!”. Why should you look baffled when you can baffle others?!
“It is not an energy source, but a way to store energy at some cost for later use.”
A battery if you will.
Okay, so it is a plus if instead of drilling wells and pumping out oil, we instead dig huge holes to remove metal bearing ores and then process them for the refined metal...........No, not seeing how this is better for gaia.

Oh my gosh that’s funny- good one

Lol- sounds like something my friend would have said too-
Needs electrical process to extract from oxide-—expensive!
There was an episode of Saturday Night Live where they lampooned Biden’s statements and responses, making him out to be the idiot we all think he is. They’ve done quite a few on him, and this was an early one. He was a passenger in a car, totally oblivious to reality. The “I like turtles” remark reminded me of that.
Component of one flavor of thermite-—makes clinkers.
