Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@StelzTV says : real ones know it comes from the great urist of dwarf fortress!>> <<@GarroldR says : Colorado River is tired>> <<@cesarboss43 says : Isn't this a "C'est pas sorcier" reference ?>> <<@RaB-x6p says : Nerds❤>> <<@TASGuy1 says : I like how you just answered the question in this... instead of like going back to like 6700BC when fire was invented or something.>> <<@oohwha says : If only the brine from desalinization plants could be used for this purpose... that would literally solve so many current and FUTURE PROBLEMS!!! ❤️🤔>> <<@faenethlorhalien says : That’s smart>> <<@izaactheberean6860 says : Is there a reason we don't use this type of water mining for other minerals? Like gold, copper, iron, etc.?>> <<@emilyholway9892 says : Fun! Ty ❤>> <<@meet_lunar513 says : Derek Please Stay😭😭😭😭>> <<@LatigoRanch says : Adding water to hardwood ash will also give you Lye. We use it to make soap.>> <<@DuncanRamsay-g7r says : Canada 🇨🇦 has a bunch of this and trump put tariffs on it 😂>> <<@nandhubg1256 says : Amazing>> <<@kylesebring says : There has to be a better way than using the Colorado River for this, we are already in a crisis, just import the fertalizer.>> <<@brooklynfaaye says : A lot of potash is mined in my home province Saskatchewan, Canada. I remember as a child getting to go for underground mine tours at K&S and Mosaic. There were demonstrations of how the process worked and i even got to lick the wall of one of the tunnels that they were draining😂 definitely salty>> <<@Gronmin says : I'm so glad this podcast keeps bringing up the digital services and that leverage over global industries matters. They have been issues I've cared about and thought about for over a decade, but no one else has really understood it.>> <<@Bombsuitsandkilts says : "Electrolytes! It's what plants crave.">> <<@BohumirZamecnik says : Nice! I was looking for this etymology yesterday, when making an interactive periodic table with name origins of elements. Two videos are just released around the same time with the exact name origins, the other I saw 5 minutes ago. If this is not synchronicity, I don't know what is.>> <<@iwannaseenow1 says : Misleading title. The US does NOT produce half the world's potash. Edit: worded badly, but the main point stands>> <<@LubomirKubasdQw4w9WgXcQ says : Reupload>> <<@alkemis says : And one day, the cavern created collapses and thus end the minng.......>> <<@AhmedANSARI-re3nw says : "Little miners" I dunno man, could've phrases it differently>> <<@aridangelita says : "Finally, a topic that is actually groundbreaking... and bit salty.">> <<@kevinlindsay3338 says : Help support 1/2 the population on earth?? I mean the science is cool for sure. But Utah Evaporator Ponds (Moab Facility) makes less than 0.2% of the world potash supply. Canada (Saskatchewan Mines Total) make 33% of the world’s supply and 80% of all of America’s agricultural potash.>> <<@svenlima says : Sounds like a big waste of precious water>> <<@myforever13 says : over 30% of the worlds potash supply is mined in Saskatchewan Canada>> <<@DrewYoung-h5j says : Interesting but basic chemistry. More interesting is that US mostly gave up producing as others can do cheaper.>> <<@DallinsGarage says : The answer begins four score and seven years ago>> <<@KingdomDumb says : Good post just in time for the end of Croptober.>> <<@angelfiga says : Basically they are fracking dissolved minerals in ash.>> <<@nyb3000 says : Didnt mention why they are blue tho - dye is added to accelerate evaporation(absorbs more light/generates heat).>> <<@n5sdm says : Moab, Ut. Pot ash road. Where the filmed Thelma and Louise ending. Great road . Shafer trail is not for the light hearted flatlanders.>> <<@AnjanS-rp4qk says : Ponds are life!😊>> <<@stuckinmygarage6220 says : Is there a museum where that display is?>> <<@milanved8602 says : Did anyone notice the latest vid was the first long form without dereks face or voice??😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢>> <<@davidlindenberger7646 says : I love my solo stove too!>> <<@brad9529 says : So why is potash down there? Why so much ash in that one place?>> <<@willreitter4648 says : Do you guys remember that old movie, Holes? What if we did that to the Mojave desert? Would it help restore the area?>> <<@thomaschristian8642 says : What a waste. They should capture the evaporated water>> <<@Neevanssob says : 3400 feet? Nah I'm hating that and idk why.>> <<@zzskylarkzz says : Potash pools! I rode my motorcycle beside these on potash trail I took it all the way through and connected to the Shafer switchbacks! Absolutely stunning!>> <<@camembertdalembert6323 says : yes, because this region isn't drought enough, let evaporate water.>> <<@BuiNhatAnh-e4j says : Mind blown. Simple as that>> <<@francisbacon2401 says : Twit. Just go above the Canada border into Saskatchewan.>> <<@Guli1an0 says : video feels old>> <<@cullenhutchison6528 says : K>> <<@Bobbobob12647 says : Thank Canada for potash, supplying a third of the global supply and accounting for 80% of US imports.>> <<@thedislikebutton1907 says : "little miners">> <<@Biszkopcikpodlaski says : Potashium?😂>> <<@disky1784 says : Okay but why is it blue>>
