Largest Lithium Reserves in the World, in California
- Thread starter r32
- Start date
Always found it interesting that if you discard your random sh$t in the middle of the desert it's called "art". But if you do it on the side of a freeway off ramp it's littering. Go figure.
Lol. Anyone here who thinks this stuff will ever actually reach the point of getting through all the red tape and over the hurdles of the California regulatory and plaintiff attorney system, and actually being extracted from the ground needs to have their head examined.
Gavin is already spearheading the entire thing and pulling strings to get everything fasttracked.
“We’re building a hub for global innovation while ensuring this transformation benefits communities right here in Imperial Valley. California is poised to become the world’s largest source of batteries, and it couldn’t come at a more crucial moment in our efforts to move away from fossil fuels. The future happens here first – and Lithium Valley is fast-tracking the world’s clean energy future.”

Yeah, the chicken and the egg thing* and which comes first...
Back in 1859, when the first wells were drilled specifically for oil recovery, did we have oil-to-fuel refineries? Or just repurposed whisky distilleries?
Thankfully Rockefeller came along and made a purpose built refinery a few years later.
And like you pointed out, looks like Musk is following in those footsteps, so yeah, some years out, but things always take time.
I sort of wonder if enough money gets spent going in one battery chemistry direction, will that slow progress on possibly better battery tech going down a different chemical pathway? Sort of like how x86 chips put the kibosh on potentially better computer chip design for so long.
Anyway, build a better mousetrap....so where is my quantum teleporter already?
Unless something terrible happens, we are going to be needing copper, lots of copper, for the next century or so, regardless of EVs. Can advise long term copper equities in a Roth IRA.

Would be nice if Imperial County could make it so that the Lithium or a lot of it could be refined and the batteries or a lot of them could be manufactured in Imperial County as well thus capturing way more of the economic benefit for the locals. Countries which primarily only export raw materials generally don't do as well as those which manufacture high value products and I would imagine it would be the same for a county.
it no matter. gavin is playing the visionary card. california is the tip of spear, and newsome is the shaft. with $15b in his pocket and more on the way.

You should check out some cases "Missing 411" by David Paulides, as illustrated by Jon Allen. Many lone, expert hikers go missing. They vanished without a trace!I would suggest this hike.
When I was there I seemed to be the only one around for many miles.

Any other peakbaggers around here?
I get so tired of going it alone.

Gavin's a notorious pretty-boy and playboy. He's not good for anything and has never accomplished anything other than be promoted upward because of his good looks and family connections/wealth and attend WEF conferences in Davos.
He might sell the lithium to the Chinese but that's about it.
Better get used to him as the next POTUS. The cards are dealt and he's in the right place right time.
Sorry for your loss.
Good.
What they should do is revive the Salton Sea by giving it a source and outflow to the sea of Cortez, but I suppose thats an even bigger project.
Human actions created the Salton Sea, California’s largest lake – here’s how to save it from collapse, protecting wild birds and human health
Fifty years ago, the Salton Sea was a draw for boaters and fishermen; today it’s an ecological time bomb. Two water experts who served on a state review panel describe its proposed rescue plan.
