Have you ever cracked a sodium filled exhaust valve from a modern automobile open and dropped it in a bucket of water? Do it <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvVUtpdK7xw>. That way we'll most likely never have to see your posts on this list ever again. Your simplistic rose-colored-glasses worldview should be wiped from the slate along with you. Just the notion that filling landfills or hazmat disposal sites full of sodium batteries instead of lithium is somehow 'better' indicates a certain STUPIDITY only seen in consumer capitalist societies with half-educated morons desperate to keep accumulating shiny shit. Further, where the FUCK are you going to get the power so "Newer additive plastic printers can fabricate using plastics that are largely recyclable and environmentally friendly."? Coal. Natural Gas (parboil instead of suffocate) Fuck off and die, and hopefully your phantasm of a technological panacea will die with you. Not likely though ... there's a mental midget who will never be able to 'connect-the-dots' born every minute. Rr
