a) Meteorites don't have any of toxic chemicals used to build a server with lithium-ion batteries and solar panels

b) we could use the same argument to defend dumping spent nuclear fuel to oceans (like we used to do)

c) I agree with the CO2 issue, grok/spacex/xAI and others should be banned from building gas powered datacenters.

Right. The toxic chemicals found in solar panels known as silicon, aluminum, copper, and trace amounts of lead. These chemicals are only found in fuming Earthbound laboratories, and are nowhere else in the universe.

You think that meteors don't have lithium? The third most common atom in the universe?

[happosai]

You think the toxity and dangers of materials are defined by the atoms the materials are made of rather than the molecules? Swimming in a ocean of Hydrogen-Oxygen salted by Sodium Chloride must feel dangerous..

Also the toxic fumes from burning batteries don't really come from the lithium but everything else the batteries are made of.
