We should follow the paper trail of independent tanker-trailers leaving solar manufacturing plants in California. One driver has been heard to claim that he dumped cadmium-tainted water at the roadside culvert somewhere in Rhodes Island then went back to California for more pickup.

So glad that solar manufacturing has stopped, at least in California; but the environmental damage has probably been done across the country.

What's "Rhode's Island". If you mean Rhode Island the state, you'll want to spend a little time learning the geography of the U.S. Driving across the entire country to find a culvert would be almost as dumb as you trying to spread this rumor.

Spelling error aside, even minimal knowledge of US geography suggests that that’s... unlikely.

Yes, unlikely. But if the driver lives near there, then it remains a viable option.
