@@5urg3xthere's no precipitation but there is humidity. I work in a underground salt mine where rust and corrosion is a never ending battle. The money sometimes makes it worth it
They will never run out of salt. There is salt underneath all the great lakes, including parts of the surrounding states. Well, over 70 trillion tons of the stuff.
Absolutely could not do it. The fear of being trapped, drowned, asphyxiates, etc.. in the absolute most pitch dark you can imaging and .0000000001% rescue in said pitch black is horrifying. Nope
Traditional salt cultivation by evaporation, requires specific conditions and climates. You create artificial ponds and evaporate the water - which means that the location which you are in must have several long months without rain. Additionally, the concentration of the salt brine needs to be fairly high before it becomes profitable, and the brine water can really damage your skin if it gets on you. Rock salt mining is much faster as well.
Betcha all the mine employees have high blood pressure from being exposed all day long to the salty air, and breathing the salt vapors in their lungs. Well, for their carry-on lunch pails, all they gotta bring is pepper to season their sandwich. The salt is already there.
All that just to rust out Ohio cars; good job Morton. I moved from Akron, OhICEo, arriving in Palm Beach, FloriDUH on March 4, 1974. I really don’t miss it.
@@dparker716 Actually, I did some research and found that the salt mined from under lake Erie is rock salt which is used to melt ice and snow. Sea salt is used for food items and is not considered rock salt.
Watch the history channel special on how the great lakes were made, it’s both, once it’s mined the rock is made to be thrown on the roads but they also send some to be processed into table salt, it’s all the same shit that salt under Lake Erie is from an ancient salt water sea that dried up many times and left all the salt behind
I live above this salt mine and our water is fine. There's literally a mountain of salt right next to the river that flows into the lake. it doesn't harm anything.
