1kg of rhenium costs $265 while 1kg of platinum costs $30K.

I'm not saying one is a better choice than the other, but I know which one I'd get.

Where are you finding rhenium for $265 a kilo? Lowest I found in a few minutes of googling is $1540.20: https://www.amazon.com/Rhenium-Metal-99-8-Pure/dp/B08FCX61QD...

(Description says it's "great for melting". Good luck with that!)
