The Idaho Farmland Water Shutoff Rabbit Hole

“Wanna come down a rabbit hole with me? If you haven't heard, right now in Eastern Idaho, 500,000 acres of farmland is without the use of water. This happened on May 30th when the Department of Water Resources ordered 6,400 groundwater users to shut off their water. They're saying it's due to a predicted yearly shortfall and to noncompliance to mitigations. But this is a half a million of farmland.
That's our food supply. And Idaho farmers are asking for our help. They are asking that we call the governor and let him know that water curtailment is not the answer. Here's where the rabbit hole comes in. Buckle up.
And again, I am nobody. I'm just an American. These videos are for entertainment purposes only, and none of this is my opinion.
Here are some facts that can be found with an Internet search:
There's a company called Jervois Operating out of Salmon, Idaho.
This is a $150 million dollar facility (see video) that was then given an additional $15 million from the Department of Defense.
And as of June 2024, today, now, they've been given the green light to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they're mining for cobalt.
Cobalt's used for lithium batteries, and they need to use a lot of water to do so. But that's been known. There were numerous articles warning about this situation.
It's known that the extraction process leads to water scarcity, and that water curtailment order came one day prior to that company getting the green light to mine 24/7.
But remember, lithium is used for the batteries in our phones, the batteries in electric cars, and for military infrastructure.
So do with that information what you will. But the farmers, they're simply asking that we call and let the governor know that water curtailment is not the answer.”
