Oh, dude, I mean, who even keeps track of that stuff? Like, I'm pretty sure it's around 2,000 metric tons a year, but like, who's counting, right? I mean, it's not like we're all carrying around little scales measuring Mercury production. Just know it's a lot, and maybe we should be a bit more careful with that stuff.
What else can I help you with?
