I wondered if any of you know of a way to keep magnet production from producing enormous toxin byproducts. Turns out magnets are needed for large wind turbines that Britain is building, and China makes the magnets cause has the metals for doing so. But result is huge pollution. I am trying to find if there is any knowledge about way to make the magnets without it being so toxic in effect?
