In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana dig into the growing tension between domestic mineral mining and clean water protection, inspired by a recent piece in The Brockovich Report. A new executive order aims to fast-track mining for critical minerals needed in modern tech and energy—but at what cost? The episode explores how past and present mining operations have contaminated U.S. water supplies and questions whether current regulations are strong enough to prevent further harm. Jordan and Lana discuss the need for a balanced approach that ensures responsible mining while safeguarding communities and water resources.
