11. There was another video I almost posted

showing what's happening now that the lake appears to be drying out for another long period, piles of fish skeletons and dried out barnacles along the shoreline. The dust that's picked up by the wind is full of heavy metals and other agricultural contaminants and it's really unhealthy to breathe.

My point was that a lithium mine in that kind of a human created death trap would not be the biggest environmental disaster.

A big, artifically created lake in the middle of the desert must've seemed like the best of all possible worlds in 1950. That was one weird as hell decade, everything was on the surface.
