Hell, they have ships that can fly to other planets in the solar system, don't they? I doubt Mercury has much of an ecosystem to endanger.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I have a plan.
Or, you know... the sun. Doesn't even have to be ours either.

Well, to be fair, they could dispose of all hazardous waste that way. But it would be kind of expensive...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would the SGC really keep enough of the stuff on hand to kill millions of Jaffa?
The Trust wasn't using what they stole -- they were using a new formula. No, I have no idea how they got what they got -- was it being stored in Area 51?
I kinda doubt they tested it for its effects on wildlife and flora, though.
They're evidently doing a bunch of stuff with retrieved artifacts behind our backs. I don't know if we can confidently posit what was or wasn't done without onscreen evidence.
As for the original Tollen homeworld, the gate's buried. But there must be others.

Do you mean realistically or SG1-ically? 'Cause I can imagine someone in power going "Hey, Prometheus! While you're up there do you think you could swing by the sun and beam some barrels of sludg into it? Thanks guys." Could also work with landfills.

Sort of like the weather-thingy from a few seasons ago.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
But you've got to figure in the environmental impact of having the Prometheus in the first place, and environmental justice issues having to do with pushing extraction offworld...
...I have too many thoughts. Hey, ita! Did you notice that they put thigh-holster action in just for you?

They do love me. Oh, yes.

I think they should be forced to honour posted prices.
Their ToS is very clear that they don't.

Well, yeah, pipe dream.
Web sites get to have ToSes. Isn't there an urban legend/real story about some ad that used the word "bananas" as currency, and someone showed up to buy whatever in bananas and they had to accept?
What happens if it's a newspaper price, and you hit the store before errata?
