    Something I didn't know 24 hours ago.

    https://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=8599

    Also the potential for lithium extraction where we won't be vulnerable to China and Afgh. when it comes to lithium supplies.

    I've been there. On one of my desert excursions when I was stationed in SoCal. I can say honestly I have never been/seen another shithole quite like that place. The Great Lakes got nothing on this place. It's just dead. D-E-D dead. The fish on the bank had little x's in their eyes dead.

    IIRC, it is a man-made disaster from back in the day. Salt mining? Borax? I don't recall. If they can turn that place around into a productive area and revive that community, we can fix anything, IMO. Well, except lefties

    When I posted the OP, I was looking at a company that wants to drill for geothermal energy even where not situated in the right places on the plates. They just want to go deep enough and apparently have a plan.

    Careful thinking like me and wanting our own lithium and not dependent on others

    Wonder what the leftwingnuts will bitch about? Geothermal energy could squash the greenies' energy market power grab by forcing everyone off fossil fuels onto their green crap. We know how lefties are about competition

    The Salton Sea is a frigging environmental nightmare and is only going to get worse unless they do something. Hopefully this will allow them to manage the problems going forward.
