neat trick is to realize you dont have to pick sides.
you can get mad at tesla for dumping wastewater with stuff they dont have a permit for, and you can be mad at the regulators failing to regulate.

But there is no evidence that they are dumping stuff they don’t have a permit for. Finding 1% over background levels in a sample tells you literally nothing.

Which is why you shouldn't dump it in a river used for fishing? (Or any river for that matter)
I don't think you understand that people pee lithium into their toilets too. But you didn't just read an article riling you up to being mad at the municipal sewage industry so you aren't mad at it at the moment.

Or you can get mad at journalist-bloggers for writing unscientific selective fearmongering hit pieces catering to culture-war-polarized confirmation biases.
