The Dystopian Lake Filled by the World’s Tech Lust

Hidden in an unknown corner of Inner Mongolia is a toxic, nightmarish lake created by our thirst for smartphones, consumer gadgets and green tech, discovers Tim Maughan.

"Rare" earth minerals are not necessarily rare. They are only mined by those who are willing to do so. Cerium like lithium is plentiful. Only certain countries or states are willing to mine for it. Realistically those who do mine will benefit economically but should pay for best practices and remediation. RCW
