you can make gypsum from power plant gasses.
it's damn simple chemistry. coal ash, too i believe, which is my BIGGEST environmental pet peeve.

the whole of color printing and photography rests on the work of german scientists to use the residue for "town gas". this was the gas pumped out of the coal mines and it sooted up the gaslights.
basically coal ash. there is absolutely no reason to be digging up/grinding up big rocks to get this stuff. huge amounts of valuable minerals just laying around poisoning people.
