Just don’t eat what you catch. It is in the shadow of a couple of lignite-fired power plants (the coal is locally mined). One of them puts out 1,900 pounds of mercury a year. There are several others. California, which has no coal fired plants, puts out 170 pounds a year, state wide.

California ought to get “credit” for any coal-fired electricity it buys from neighboring states, to be fair. If CA got most of its electricity from nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal, I’d be more impressed. If they just get it from NV, that’s kicking the ball down the road.
