Reply to comment by [deleted] in Study: Enough minerals to fuel green energy shift -"The analysis is robust and this study debunks those (running out of minerals) concerns" by Surur

I mean, I did the math to show that mining causing any significant changes in the earth's orbit or rotation is complete nonsense.

It would take millions of years of effort, with all human energy going to this singular purpose, to make even a miniscule change.

Natural processes will dwarf anything humans do to alter the earth's orbit many times over.

If you believe in this mathematically impossible nonsense, there's nothing more to say. I've shown you the numbers. Humans can't alter these things. We just don't have the energy.

I'm not sure you're understanding me.

Yes, mining effects the rotation of earth.

It will change it by a few nanoseconds. Not enough to impact the environment.

It's not physically possible for us to do more than that. Doing so would require millions of years worth of electricity. See the math above.
