I've been researching why America's nuclear weapons labs were built where they were. The geology underneath them is not coincidental. Why isn't anyone talking about it?

I host a horror and true crime podcast called Fear and Wine, and I've been deep in research for an upcoming episode. I want to share something I stumbled into that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about. I'm not a geologist or a physicist, but I can read primary sources, and what I'm finding in peer-reviewed geology literature and declassified military engineering documents is making the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Here's the short version: every major nuclear weapons and aerospace intelligence facility in the United States sits on top of a geological rift system. And that may not be an accident. Click the image above for the full story. Sources in comments
