The Salton Sea, once a resort destination and now largely overlooked, could be the site of California's next gold rush – this time involving lithium.A new study from the U.S. Department of Energy shows the dying lake, which sits between the Coachella and Imperial valleys in California's southern desert, is brimming with lithium: enough to build batteries for 375 million electric vehicles.This makes it one of the largest lithium brine deposits in the world.Analysts from the University of California, Berkeley measured lithium concentrations in the Salton Sea’s rocks and created computer models to estimate its potential production over the next 30 years.
