Yeah, fuck that lake!

Environmentalists: “We really need to address climate change”

Me, an environmentalist: “let’s mine like crazy for the materials we’re sure to need”

Environmentalists: “no, not like that!”

Honestly, yes. Look that lake up and you'll see how worthless it is for anything lake-y.

Also though, let's not pretend we wouldn't strip mine Lake Tahoe if there was unobtainium under it.
