Some electrical charging is sometimes applied to bridge reinforcement to counteract ion transfer.

That's very cool. So enhanced ion transfer like this idea would be even worse?

I was thinking that a lightning strike would be very bad.

Just imagine if lightning could be used as a fast-charge cycle! That would actually be useful. There is a crapload of energy to be harnessed in a lightning strike.

its chemical composition has changed. It can't be ground down to make into concrete again.
Concrete has aggregates (rock, sand etc.) mixed with cement to give it strength. Also, cement isn't manufactured it has to be mined...you know like gold and coal. IOW, you can't grow or manufacture more cement.

Concrete (the end product of cement) is ground up and used for road base and maybe an aggregate with cement to make low grade concrete.

By using their definition of "sustainable" it could be argued that plastic is sustainable.

I can still recall the old-wives tale to never put a lead-acid battery down directly onto a concrete floor. Putting it down on wood that was between the battery and the concrete was ok. Otherwise it would drain itself via the contact with the concrete. That has changed and is no longer true.

No. Cold fusion, at least, has an outside chance of working.

I wonder if it would act like a Faraday Cage/Shield and block RF like from a cellphone?..............
