Salton Sea White Gold Be Among Its Waters
Across the vast expanse of the Salton Sea there is white gold in those waters deep below the ground, the Salton Sea has been called the lithium valley, for good reason.
The waters of the lake run along what is called "the ring of fire", a horseshoe of high volcanic activity, where geothermal movement will be seen, lithium is a by-product of the geothermal energy process -
What lithium is used for:
Lithium is of great importance because it is used in the production of rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, and electric vehicles, including Tesla
It is strange to think that a place that experienced its best moments and its
golden afternoons long ago could once again be a lake of high power, this if lithium is recovered successfully Burksure Hathaway has said it will increase its investment in the most impoverished communities from the surroundings.
For decades attempts and promises have remained just that, which is why leaders say it is time to look to a promising future with renewed hope.
This past September saw the first congressional hearing in 23 years in the lake.
Congressman Raúl Ruiz has executed a Salton law to obtain federal financing and accelerate projects.One of those treasured projects is the one in Bombay Beach that has $ 700,000 in the planning stages and will not be reversed until 2023., Regarding the environment
, work has finally begun on the management plan, a ten-year initiative to improve conditions by creating 30 thousand acres of habitat and suppressing dust.
The state's "species conservation project" is expected. Contribution for a healthy wildlife, another $ 19 million is on the table for the North Lake demonstration project led by Riverside County with the intention of restoring habitat, controlling dust and pollutants
and in hopes of reviving the recreation and investment in the lake.
On another related issue: They have enough lithium to cover almost a third of world demand, the problem is that the technology to recover lithium has not yet been tested on a commercial scale, which is really the main barrier to the development of the lake.
