“So GM has just signed an innovative agreement with a company called Controlled Thermal Resources to extract Lithium from superheated waters beneath the Salton Sea in the desert of Southern California.”
GM has promised to go all-electric by 2035, and most of the world’s lithium comes from Australia and Chile. Pulling it out of geothermal brine in California would be cleaner and closer to home. So far GM has a signed agreement, not a mine. A press release is not a supply chain until the first ton ships.
