This might be a little off topic but they have discovered a vast amount of lithium in the imperial valley ca at the southern end of the salton sea, they are claiming it holds about 75 years worth of the stuff, it will not need to be extracting from the earth using conventional mining techniques as in other countries, i believe it exists in the water or brine used in the power plants there, the upside to this is it will not need to be imported here from other countries for the lithium batteries, the problem will be getting thru all the red tape in california, time will tell. i have been holding on to property there that has been in my family for 60 plus years, im hoping the state does not screw this up and lets it happen.
