Reply to comment by MyPhillyAccent in German scientists show a commercially feasible method for cyanobacteria to extract 17 rare earth elements from low-concentration sources. Currently, most of the world's supply of these elements is mined in China. by lughnasadh

You have a lot of waste water and stones/minerals left over when you mine.

This may help making it economically viable to get out one more product from the same mine.

So if it uses mine waste it may be better for envoirment. But we will see.
