1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to you stuff you should

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: know from house Stuff Works dot Com. Hey, and welcome

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant. Damn,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: that makes it sound fish And um, I just had

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: some of my notes mixed up, like criminal records was

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: stuffed in the middle of this one, Like wouldn't that

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: be funny if I was talking about abandoned mines? And

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: then just like a robot, it was like, and if

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: you have a d U I you can call your

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: local police shop and get that expunged. Yeah, I think

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: that's bad advice. Well, now I'm just saying, do you

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: not ever call the police unless it's an emergency. You're right, Chuck? Yes, Um,

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: how are you doing good? Three today? Huh yeah, day

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: before holiday even in fact, the office is closed right

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: now and we're still working. It's like crickets outside and

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: someone threw a spear at me when I stuck my

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: head out to go to the bathroom. Good that was

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: his assignment. So Chuck, if I may take it down

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: a notcher. Two? Have you ever heard of a guy

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: named Taylor Crane, a kid. Taylor as a kid who

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: was sixteen years old when he died. He was on

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: a tour of Mexico UM with his parents New Mexico

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and mex Mexico, Mexico Old Mexico UM. And he was

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: on a tour I didn't realize he's existed UM but

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: a of abandoned haciendas and mines. So it's basically like

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: an urban exploration tour of old Mexico UM. And they

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: were at an old mind site the tour group was

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: and Taylor was apparently playing tag and um jumped up

30
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: on a low wall and apparently on the other side

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: of that was a thousand foot mine shaft which he

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: fell into a ten ft cross jess wide open a

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: thousand feet down. They had a lot of trouble getting

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: to them to recover him because there's so much lead

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: and arsenic at the bottom that it was really difficult

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: to breathe to get down there to get them. So

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: you think, like, wow, it's really crazy that Mexico has

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: these open minds. Mind blowing as it is, Mexico is

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: not the only place. As a matter of fact, here

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: in the States we have something on the scale of

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand abandoned minds. That's the high end, but

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the low end even is still I think like three

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand abandoned minds. Abandoned minds probably two of the

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: most dangerous words you can put together, and they're all

45
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: over the place. The US is lousy with them. Yeah,

46
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: and about thirty people die in the United States every

47
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: year from accidents involving abandoned minds. And did a little looking. Yeah,

48
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: apparently they include uh, quarries, and most of these are drownings. Um,

49
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: because the quarry either has water or an abandoned mind shaft.

50
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, they'll pump out water to work in it,

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: and then when they're done, it fills back up with water.

52
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: So uh, some say, crazy scuba divers, we'll try and

53
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: scuba dive these things. My dad was actually certified in

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: an old marble quarry in Tlita, and to be certified

55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you had to go down to a school bus at

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of this quarry. Um, you had to dive

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: down to go into the school bus and grab something

58
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: from it. It was like right inside, and then bring

59
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: it back up. Then they'd be like, Okay, you're certifying

60
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: your dad did. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'm trying to

61
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: picture that. I can't imagine anything more creepy than having

62
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: to go into a school bus at the bottom of

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: a filled quarry. No, I'm just trying to picture your

64
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: dad like all you know, scuba diving and adventure, a

65
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: buzz cut and more like a big watch and everything. Yeah,

66
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: he was. I guess anytime you're older and you meet

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: someone father when they're a little older, it's hard to

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: imagine them as young because I didn't know him back then,

69
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: But I picture him on the couch. Oh no, uh no,

70
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: he was. He carried a spear gun everywhere he went

71
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: with him. Really, that's awesome. Alright, So, um, sadly, like

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I said, about thirty people die each year, many of

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: them are drownings. I think number two on the list

74
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: as a TV accidents, which doesn't surprise me because tool

75
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: along in the a TV on some you know, random

76
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: thinking You're in the middle of nowhere place and all

77
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden the bottom falls out. Literally. Um yeah,

78
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: those were the top two far and away that I

79
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: came across too. But since two thousand one, apparently two

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: seven people have died in the United States because of

81
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: accidents involving abandoned minds. I saw one in two thousand

82
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: and eight. These two guys were uh, trying to get

83
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: a former gold mine going again because they thought there

84
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: was still gold down there, and they were pumping out

85
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: water with a some sort of machine with a generator,

86
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: and they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Yeah, that's that's

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: another one. I think it's way down on the list.

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: It's like a distant third, but but I think it's

89
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: it's um being overcome unable to breathe, asphyxiation, that's the

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for, by bringing in your own thing,

91
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: or just by the toxic chemicals down there, toxic chemicals

92
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: or um, carbon monoxide or oxygen depletion in general from

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: people either trying to get old ones started up or yeah,

94
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: more likely adventuring. Yeah, abandoned mind Let's go ahead and

95
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: give a tip to people because we like to encourage

96
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the urban explorers, which you know we've done a podcast

97
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: on that. But man, you don't need to be hanging

98
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: around abandoned minds. No, they're very, very dangerous. Yes, I

99
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: mean that's just so mind bogglingly dangerous. Just resist the urge,

100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: and I like, I have that urge too, because I

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: love the urban exploration. If I saw a whole the ground,

102
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I would want to go check it out. But it's

103
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: not a good place to be, not a good thing

104
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: to do. So what's crazy is we said, like, up

105
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: to five hundred thousand abandoned minds and these are just

106
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: the minds, not mine features. So say, every mine has

107
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: several mind features. Say and at it, which is a

108
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: vertical shaft or I'm sorry, a horizontal shaft. Um, And

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: you've got a vertical shaft like the one that um,

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: poor Taylor Crane fell into. Um, you have all these

111
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: different mind features on up to five hundred thousand minds.

112
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is is as of February two

113
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: thousand eleven, the Bureau of Land Management, which is tasked

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: with finding these abandoned minds, has only found about thirty

115
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: one thousand of them. That means that there's possibly four

116
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine thousand abandoned minds in the United

117
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: States that no one has on any map. True, but

118
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: like on on the good side, they're trying to find them. Now.

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, they only had eighteen thousand

120
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: of them, so in spanned three years they found another

121
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: uh thousand, I had twelve thousand and two thousand and eight.

122
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: Well even better than um. And I think of those

123
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: have been remediated, have pending reclamation, or they say aren't

124
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: a danger. They say, so, Um, that's just the physical dangerous. Yeah,

125
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: there's two kinds. There's physical dangers and environmental dangers. And

126
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I think and I guess it's of the ones they

127
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: found they said to have physical hazards and five have

128
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: environmental hazards, which you know, it's not a ton but

129
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: is pretty dangerous. Well, a physical hazard is insidious for

130
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the local just the local people who are walking around

131
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: it sure like falling in, yeah, or maybe caving in.

132
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: And by the way, I found out that any mine

133
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: feature that is like a hole in the ground, or

134
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: even like if there's a depression in the ground because

135
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: a mine collapse, some they're called glory holes. Did you

136
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: know that? That was almost a fit take, wasn't it?

137
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: That's not true? I s where to God it is. Wow,

138
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: I saw a sign today of an abandoned mind called

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the glory whole mind. Well that's that's quite a name. Yeah,

140
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: good for them. Uh mind tailings you talk about, and

141
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: this is some of the environmental hazards, and these can

142
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: actually be physical hazards too if you're living nearby. These

143
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: are the remnants of what was going on there of

144
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: the mineral, and often it can be very toxic and

145
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: then that can either be harmful to you or it

146
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: can run off into the water and be harmful to people,

147
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, downriver. That was my point is things like um,

148
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: like add its and other mind features. UM, they're dangerous

149
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: if you're walking around the mine. Environmental hazards of a

150
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: mind can be very far reaching because in very much

151
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: the same way that ascid rain is produced from like

152
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: smoke stacks, these mines can produce acid rain UM, and

153
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: they can also produce acid groundwater. When sulfide sulfide minerals

154
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: and oxygen combined with water, it produces acidic groundwater that

155
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: can pollute an entire water system downstream and then also chuck.

156
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: There's mercury tailings or a big problem, especially with gold mines.

157
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: So you know, like if you take mercury and take

158
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: gold and put them together, mercury absorbs the gold and

159
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: you get a rainbow, right, a deadly rainbow. Uh, and

160
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: it makes what's called an amalgam. And then later on

161
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: so you have like you can take a little gold

162
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: flex or whatever, and now they're like highly portable, stable

163
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: little things of mercury. And then you take them somewhere

164
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: else and you can burn the mercury off and the

165
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: mercury will vaporize and just the gold is left. Well,

166
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: the problem is that mercury then immediately contaminates wherever you

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: just burned it off, and there's the atmosphere and everything.

168
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: But those kind of hailings are especially problematic, and old

169
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: gold mines too. And does that end up in gold

170
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: Schlager bottles? Probably is that where they get it? I

171
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope they're not putting formerly mercury gold

172
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: and Malcolm in the gold schlag No, the people that

173
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: gold Slager wouldn't do that. So, Josh, if this is

174
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: such a problem, why wouldn't these companies clean up their

175
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: mind sites. It seems like a no brainer to me.

176
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: You're there, you do the work, you close it down,

177
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: you clean it up, make sure it's safe for everybody.

178
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: That's how you do it now. Yes, supposedly, Uh, it

179
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: was not the case until ninety seven. For about two years.

180
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: People mind UM even more than that, people mind in

181
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: the United States willingly however they wanted, and they would

182
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: they would say, well, this mind's used up. I don't

183
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: need it any longer. I'm walking away. Well, the quick

184
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: answer to my question answer now is money. That's the

185
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: real reason, because it's really expensive to clean up your

186
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: mind site. If you're a mining operation and you can

187
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: free what you can just fold up shop and leave.

188
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Why would you spend money to clean it up? If

189
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: you were a company without me like an ethical compass

190
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: and a moral compass, because you know it's gonna hit

191
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: your bottom line, so screw it, let's just leave it.

192
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, I can't help but feel like you set

193
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: me up by asking me that question and expecting the

194
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: short answer, because I've never given a short answer. Well,

195
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: that is a short answer. UM two thousand and six

196
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: congressional testimony said it would cost seventy two billion dollars

197
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: to clean up only the hard rock minds like at

198
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: the hard rock cafes. Right, seventy two billion dollars. Well,

199
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Land Management, which we said is UM

200
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: responsible for finding these minds and for reclaiming them. Basically, Um,

201
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: they divide minds that they have to deal with in

202
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the three categories. There's hard rock, which is like gold, silver,

203
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: mineral iron maybe yeah, I don't think they deal with

204
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: iron um. And then there's coal mines, and then uranium mines.

205
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Got it. Well, I saw on the East coast they

206
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: had a map of where a lot of these abandoned

207
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: mines are, and there's a lot of them on the

208
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: East coast, and there were I think a lot of

209
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the coal mines. Oh yeah, Like there's Centrally of Pennsylvania,

210
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: which we talked about before, is an abandoned town with

211
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: the coal steam burning underneath. Oh yeah, that's right. Creepy. Um.

212
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: So they abandoned the mines over time, land records and

213
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: lease records were lost, basically taking a reverse foreclosure. Yeah,

214
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: pretty much. And so in the end, like no one's

215
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: on the hook. No one knows many times who these

216
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: mines originally, like who was responsible over this to begin with?

217
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: And even if they do know the mine or its

218
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: gonna be like the do you have documentation that's there

219
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: on that mine? And the government goes no, and the

220
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: mine owners says see you or the other little loophole

221
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: wrote this right that you pointed out, which was if

222
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: you have gone through bankruptcy, then you can't be held liable.

223
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: That is no longer true. Oh is that not true? Yeah? Yeah,

224
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I was happy to find that there's there's You now

225
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: have to post a bond basically as a mining company

226
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: from what I understand from research I did very recently,

227
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: that you have to post a bond kind of like

228
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: a fidelity bond. That is money you pay in upfront

229
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: that you get back if your mining operations successfully reclaims

230
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: the land. If you don't reclaim it, if reclamation isn't

231
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: like the end of your um mind, or you go bankrupt,

232
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: that money is still there to pay for reclamation. So

233
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: you canna correct the article. I think I should. I

234
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: think you should. People need to know that. UM here's

235
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: a little thing too called the Clean Water Act, which

236
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: um obviously you're going to be violating that if you're

237
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: letting your toxins from your mind leak out into the groundwater,

238
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: big penalties. But um As pointed out that in two

239
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: thousand six that was legislation to exempt people from prosecution

240
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: who were actually trying to clean up their minds, Like

241
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: I want to go clean up my mind, And we're

242
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna exempt you, uh, as long as you weren't the

243
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: people who started the mind to begin with from I

244
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: guess exempt from the Clean Water Act. Yes, from polluting

245
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: because with tailings, a lot of a lot of cases. Um,

246
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: just removing them is going to some's gonna slip into

247
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: the watershed. And if it's from, say a uranium, mind,

248
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: well does it's radioactive and your water is radioactive and

249
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: you're in you have to pay a huge fine. Was

250
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: it better to leave it? I wonder it's better to

251
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: not get any into the water shed? Well, but can

252
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: you clean it up without doing that? Yes? I feel

253
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: like what the government has been doing. The Beer of

254
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: Land Management does, and they have a division called the

255
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: Abandoned mine Lands. Um, they basically just build a structure

256
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: around it, kind of like what they did with Chernobyl,

257
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: but on a much smaller scale, where it's basically like

258
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: this is gonna stay here for a little while, we'll

259
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: just put this around it until it's not radioactive anyway. Okay,

260
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: that's the impression I have what they're doing, at least

261
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: with radioactive stuff. Well, that legislation did not pass though, No,

262
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: it didn't, which seems like it would discourage people from

263
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: trying to clean these things up, right, Yeah, But I

264
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: also read testimony from UM this group called Earthworks, and

265
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: they were lobbying against that loophole, saying it was overly broad.

266
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: That basically like if you just picked up a little

267
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: bit of litter or whatever, you were automatically exempt from

268
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the Clean Water Act, So it could be used to

269
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: nefarious ends by a moral people. Well, you mentioned the

270
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: abandoned mind Lands program under the Bureau of Land Management. UM.

271
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: They get funding roughly in the neighborhood at twelve to

272
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year. And you know we said

273
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: earlier it takes seventy billion to clean up I think

274
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: just the hard rock site. So they're doing the best

275
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: they can. UM. Over an eight year period, that cleaned

276
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: up more than three thousand minds, which is awesome, but

277
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: when you've got potentially five thousand out there, it's a

278
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: little scared to think about. So to to remediate a mind,

279
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: you have to address the physical stuff and the environmental stuff.

280
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: You have to take care of the tailings piles. You

281
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: have to um prevent any more acid groundwater from being produced.

282
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: You have to disassemble and carry off any old machinery,

283
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: any old buildings, maybe UM, and you have to cover

284
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: up entrances. But covering up a mind shaft a glory

285
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: hole as it's called in the industry, UM is not

286
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: quite as cut and dry as you think. You just

287
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: put a huge, heavy metal slab over it. The problem

288
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: is is when you build a mind, in a lot

289
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: of cases, you've disturbed bat population. When you UM abandoned

290
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the mind, you basically are leaving this bat population with

291
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: a an awesome little place to live, a playground, if

292
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you will, exactly UM. Now, bats are really really essential

293
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: to our comfort and happiness, and that the average bat

294
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: can kill something like six mosquitoes an hour when it

295
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: really wants to if it's feeling frisky, So we want

296
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: to keep bats around. They're already being decimated by a

297
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: white nose fungus, right. So people who are reclaiming abandoned

298
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: mind have figured out that there's ways that you can

299
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: keep humans out but let bats in and out, and

300
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: so they put on like bat couple of us I'm

301
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: vertical shafts, which is basically just like a little roof

302
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: that has slats to let the bats fly in and out.

303
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: That makes sense, And a bat gate is virtually the

304
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: same thing, except it goes into like an addit bat gate.

305
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: That couple of I think it's a great idea because

306
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: then like, you're not gonna find a kid down in there. No,

307
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: you're not disturbing the population of the bat unless the

308
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: kid is the size of a bat. And even still,

309
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: why is he not like bat boy? That's his problem? Well,

310
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: bat Boy's fine. Um. So the E p A UH

311
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: started something called the super fund UM, which basically means

312
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: mining companies now paying too this uh huge bank account

313
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: to cover costs of future cleanups. But that's not enough

314
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: to meet the needs, so taxpayers end up paying for

315
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: the discrepancies. Not don't mind my tax money going towards that.

316
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: So apparently nowadays since UM, part of the abandoned mind

317
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: Reclamation fund um is that if you're a mining company,

318
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: you're putting in your paying a tax basically for every

319
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: thirty one for every ton of surface coal that you

320
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: mind and every ton of underground coal, you're paying um

321
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: thirty one point five cents for surface coal and uh

322
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: thirteen point five cents a ton for underground mind stuff,

323
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: And all that goes into the super fund to reclaim it.

324
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Well this this our October, I think

325
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: it's going to go down to twelve cents and twenty

326
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: eight cents. Yeah. Um things times are tough all over

327
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: for everybody. Yeah, they are. Um in n Josh, as

328
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: you point out, the Department of Interior created an award

329
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: for mining excellence. It's like the Yard of the Month

330
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: for abandoned mond and reclamaining. I think it's called the

331
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: Mining Award, and um, all joking aside, it's very cool

332
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: that they do this because, um, a lot of you know,

333
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: people are more responsible these days with their mining operations.

334
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: They're not all bad. Mining is a vital thing. We're

335
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: not trying to poop poo that. And then we did

336
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: like with the mountaintop removal, coal mining came down pretty hard.

337
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: But um, a lot of miners these days are pretty

338
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: responsible and they are reclaiming this land and uh going

339
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: back in and planning vegetation and trying to preserve old

340
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: buildings and make those into live work space condos exactly

341
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Yeah, So that's great. Yeah, keep it up,

342
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: is what I say. I agree, and be careful out there.

343
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: A TV people in rot Corey swimmers. Yeah. There. Um,

344
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: if you see a mind, stay away. I believe that's

345
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: the name of the program. Yeah, stay away. Yeah. It's

346
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: like you know those cartoony posters with exclamation points and

347
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: stuff like that. UM P S A S that's what

348
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: they're called. Uh. I think if you do see your mind,

349
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: go on the Internet and look up reporting abandoned minds

350
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: and you will find a way to do it, and

351
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: that will be helpful. You'll save some money, save some

352
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: taxpayer money if you report a mind yourself agreed. Uh.

353
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: If you want to know more about abandoned minds and

354
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: reclamation and all that stuff, you can type it into

355
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: the search bar at how stuff works dot com. And

356
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: I said, search bars means it's time for that's right, Josh.

357
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: This closes out the trilogy. I'll go and start out

358
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: with Donna Fessler. My husband always wants to call my

359
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: beet vegetable soup as stew, but it is broth based.

360
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: I don't argue. Um, And basically she's asking about this.

361
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: My recommendation Donna is to go check out the podcast

362
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: Judge John Hodge, because he has a full podcast on

363
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: I believe Chili chili's chowlders, stews and soups and the

364
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: differences right, the first one. It was pretty early on.

365
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: Judge John will break it all down for you. Nice plug, Chuck,

366
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan Taylor. Question, what time is it a hammertime?

373
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: They didn't grow up watching yet? Yeah? Well he's asking

374
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: that because Andy Griffith died today. Oh really Yeah, I

375
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160

00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: anniversary Tanya and Abe. Oh here's a good one, Brandon Nichols,

387
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Who would you most like to punch in the face?

388
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: That's sort of like the fight club question? Who would

389
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: you fight? Who would I most like to punch in

390
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: the face? Would it be a good one? I think

391
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: myself many times. Yeah, that's very much like fight club.

392
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: Actually I got someone else, but I can't say I

393
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: think you know who it is. Oh yeah, like a

394
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: punch him in the face. Yeah, you got anyone. I'm

395
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: not saying anything that's anything. So that was kind of

396
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: a cop out. Uh. Vitality says, would you rather fight

397
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: one hundred duck sized horses or one horsed sized duck?

398
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: I love these questions one horse sized duck. I don't

399
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: go for the one horse sized duck because you get

400
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: like a sharpened stick in its neck. It's over and

401
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: done with. It's kind of like that um garage full

402
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: of guided missiles up in space. Yeah, you take one

403
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: out you take ten out. If you've got like a

404
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred duck sized horses coming at you, they're going to

405
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: get the best of you. Yeah. Plus, that's just creepy, man.

406
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a hundred like one ft tall horses

407
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: coming after you? I find the horse sized duck creepier.

408
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind that. That's some good eating too. Yeah.

409
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Uh Mica Mia Mia Mea. Paul Cannell says, Howe Maya

410
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: Maya says, how is Atlanta really quality of life? Would

411
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: you recommend it? I would? I love Atlanta. I'm from

412
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: here and I moved back here for a reason. Josh,

413
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: do you like Atlanta? Sure? Lands great? Atlanta's great? Robert Casey?

414
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: Is Jerry as smoking hot as we think she is?

415
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: And more? My friend? That's all I'm gonna say about that.

416
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten a threatening uh listener mail from

417
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Yeager? No? Nothing threatening? Really like physically threatening? Um?

418
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: Uh no? Menacing? How about that? I've gotten a couple

419
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: of little crazy ones, but that never menacing? Care to share? No, Okay,

420
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: I want to send anybody off? How about one more? Okay,

421
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: let's see. Um, why is Cilantro so divisive? From Heidi Wells.

422
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: Good question, Heidi, Well, that is a good one. Cilantro,

423
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the herb also known as coriander or um Chinese salary,

424
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I believe in some quarters for yeah, um, that's pretty good,

425
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Uh is divisive because it strikes different people's

426
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: tongues differently. It's really big time, right. Some people, cilantro

427
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: is a glorious herb, including me and me I love

428
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: cilantro me too. To other people, it tastes very much

429
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: like soap. Yeah, my friend says that. And there is actually,

430
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: if you're interested, a video on web md that addresses

431
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: this question. And if you watch very closely, the filmmaker,

432
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: who is a friend of mine who I know through Humi,

433
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: put in a moment where he takes a thing of

434
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: Paul malive and puts it over a taco. And it

435
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: happens just for a second, but it's pretty brilliant. Want

436
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: to it was just funny. Look at Yeah, it's like,

437
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: did you just put soap on a taco? Yeah? There

438
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: you go. Well, here's what I have to say. I

439
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: feel sorry for people who have that taste reaction because

440
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: cilantro to me is one of the great great things.

441
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: And uh, food and some drinks. Yes, I put a

442
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: little cilantro and margarite is from time to time so good.

443
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: It's really nice. And a couple of slices of halapeno. Yeah,

444
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: all right, I'm hungry, thirsty, I am too, man, let's

445
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,280
