" ... Although blades on the 150-meter wind turbines at the new German offshore Riffgat power plant nine miles off the North Sea island of Bokum are finally turning, there is one big problem. They are doing so only because they are being powered by onshore fossil-fueled generators to prevent the rotors from corroding in salty air. And why might that be? Well although they otherwise function perfectly, the underfinanced grid operator hasn’t yet connected a power line because of problems attracting investor financing. Prospective investors attribute their reluctance to a lack of market confidence. ... "
" ... And while the concept of a chair corroding to completion may seem interesting, but as a consumer, one must wonder: Is the chair functional? ... "
" ... That said, silicon shows a very strong affinity to oxygen and hydrogen. On Earth the tissue of a silicon-based life-form would slowly react with the oxygen of the air and the hydrogen in the water, corroding and killing the hypothetical creature. Doctor McCoy even mentions this observation in the episode. However, Spock notes that the creature comes from within the planet, where suitable conditions for silicon-based life might exist. Silicon-life would need an oxygen-free atmosphere, an environment with no water and an alternative liquid for its metabolism. Possible alternative solvents that may work include liquid methane and ethane, but also sulfuric and hydrocyanic acid. The acid could explain the (fictional) ability of the Horta to “digest rock” and to “tunnel” so quickly “for nourishment.” As such compounds are unstable at higher temperatures, the silicon-based life-form would best thrive in a very cold environment (maybe like -328°F). For us, such a creature would appear like a common rock. The eggs of the Horta appeared to the crew and miners as inanimate silicon-concretions, despite being ready to hatch. ... "
