    I’d prefer to mine where there is less life. Southwest AR has a decent amount of wildlife. The area around the Salton Sea would probably be better.

      I like it. Let’s mine the parts of the planet we’ve already severely fucked up.

      It’s a better idea than continuing to fuck up more of it for the sake of mining.
