There's an ecosystem there now, people just don't want to learn about it.

Like the Salton Sea not too far away? F that, give me the clean desert over that mud pit.

Salton Sea is indeed gross, but it used to be a lake, but then drained, so I understand it's a mix of farm runoff and dead fish.

My comment was in jest anyways, nothing wrong with the Death Valley ecosystem.

One of the proposals for flooding the Salton Sea includes using the local geothermal power for desalination and irrigation.
