Reply to comment by ForHidingSquirrels in US Federal Reserve sees EV “battery belt” developing as greater than 15 battery manufacturing facilities worth greater than $40 billion are in development in the US by ForHidingSquirrels

Few superfund sites are radiation contaminated. The most common (and some of the most toxic) sites are former dry cleaners. It’s all about the chemicals used, and these sites will be swimming in heavy metals.

Heavy metals are fairly easy to clean up for the most part. Its the shit that seeps into groundwater and travels that really sucks to clean up.

Chlorinated solvents aren't used at dry cleaners anymore for a good reason nor do we allow floor drains that seep directly into the earth
