Opportunities for Auxons
Moving forward I want to highlight some areas where auxons can be particularly useful, while the exact design of the auxons is still uncertain they represent large scale challenges where access to power prevents any conception of remediating or restoring these challenges.
Uranium Mine Lands Restoration
Cleaning up abandoned uranium mines, the South west particularly Arizona and New Mexico have a history of uranium mining and extraction which has left dangerous piles of tailings and process residue that represent risks to local communities, often community's that are severally economically disadvantaged. To remediate this an incredibly amount of energy will be required to mechanically break down any solid tailings, and chemically processing the tailings and process residue to its constituent elements, vitrifying all radioactive and heavy metals and restoring the landscape. This will take a very large commitment of energy, that currently is unaffordable however for an auxon, with additional modifications to undertake the task, it would be readily able to perform the work and produce materials that can be sold at a profit and provide a robust energy (and potentially manufacturing) infrastructure for local community's moving forward.
