Will California’s desert be transformed into Lithium Valley?
BY JULIE CART FEBRUARY 25, 2021UPDATED MARCH 1, 2021
On the edge of the Salton Sea, state officials and investors are seeking to turn brine into ‘white gold’ that can power electric cars. But will this help solve the Imperial Valley’s troubles — or add to them?

For the record: This story was updated on March 1 to correct a company name and clarify that the brine comes from beneath the Salton Sea region.
California’s desert is littered with remnants of broken dreams — hidden ghost towns, abandoned mines and rusty remains of someone’s Big Idea. But nothing looms larger on an abandoned landscape than the Salton Sea, which languishes in an overlooked corner of the state.
The water shimmers and broils in the desert like a rebuke: born of human error, made worse by 100 years of neglect and pollution. California’s largest lake is also one of its worst environmental blights, presenting a problem so inverted that its toxic legacy intensifies as its foul water disappears.
For generations, Imperial Valley residents have been breathing in a Periodic Table of minerals and metals, as well as agricultural chemicals. But for all the misery that these receding waters have unleashed — asthma and other respiratory ailments triggered by dust clouds — the Salton Sea now offers a potential way out: A bounty of lithium, called “white gold,” one of the planet’s most prized elements, used to manufacture batteries that power electric cars and drive a fossil-fuel-free future.
And the state of California wants to be in on it.

资源和科技,美国要控制这两项。但是美国并不想在资源产出上劳动,而只想在科技上劳动。ccmath 写了: 2023年 5月 14日 12:28 南加州的大盐湖Salton Sea, 据说可以用来提炼锂,现在已经吹到天上去了, second gold rush. 号称全套产业链都要搞。 美国的矿业回归的可能性有多大?会不会是第二个加州高铁?
