In a net-zero future, a future where petroleum and natural gas production enter terminal decline and never return to their past carbon-spewing heights, sulfur production will fall away, too. The minerals that contain sulfur often also tend to contain toxic metals like mercury, arsenic, and thallium. Therein lies the problem.
