It would be awesome to see a cost breakdown/environmental impact of continuing to run a P4 or G5 today vs. the metals/materials/recycling process/disposal process cost and environmental impact.

I always had the same question about cleaning recycling as it went through a recycling plant -- is the water usage environmentally "friendly" versus what is ultimately recycled (which is often not much, sadly).

That brings up an interesting point. While recycled materials like gold are obviously revenue for the recycler, the cost of polluting water might get externalized in some cases maybe.
