  1. Hey Mike. As a resident of NYS. Salt isn't all it's cracked up to be for covering the roads. Especially with how cheaply American automotive has become with the fabrication of steel bodies of vehicles.

  2. Oof, salt, i would never want to deal with that stuff, I bet while it was dramatized a bit, they really werent exaggerating much how often stuff goes down for maintenance or broken. Salt is just such a corrosive thing to deal with.

  3. To bad Mike didn't take us in a video tour of the underground salt mine in the Detroit, Dearborn, and other Downriver area suburbs of metro Detroit that the salt mine covers. It's eery but cool to hear the dynamite explosions and feel the rumble of the blasting being down under the neighborhood at night. This Detroit/Dearborn salt mine has been in operation since the late 1880's. Here it is in 2022, and the salt keeps coming up the horizontal mine shaft elevator to the surface next to the Rouge River shoreline. This video shows surface salt mining. We wanna see the underground city made by mining under the surface of entire above ground cities in S.E. Michigan.

  4. “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.” Matthew 5:13

  5. I want to see the whole show! It looks like it left off at a crucial moment. I love listening to Mike. Even better watching him – Mike Rowe, is a fine producer and and host! Additionally…He is a fine human being!

  6. Desalinating sea water at a low cost and high productivity is the new motivation for high level engineering students and environmentalists from universities worldwide.

  7. If they do desalination in the Southwestern of the United States because of the drought, we'll have plenty of salt, and fresh water. 👀

  8. We need to pump water from the Gulf of California to refill the reservoirs and to provide companies like this with brine to pump across their fields. This is a must do!

  9. Love this series. You can tell it's an honest company he's filming at, because they didn't demand censorship of the failings of systems. Luckily any plant dealing with salt that doesn't have malfunctioning equipment, is only possible if thier out of salt

  10. Fairly easy to make. Pump seawater into basins you dog in the desert. Use a rake like tractor to till and agitate the crystals into forming. Few months later you can literally dig it up and send it to a plant to clean. Do it on large enough scale and cheap salt. Especially if you use solar power for sea pumps and tiller machines
