Lithium
Could Lithium Valley become the new Silicon Valley? Global electric vehicle sales are forecast to rise from 1.7 million in 2020 to over 50 million by 2040 – and the vast majority of those cars will be run on lithium-ion batteries. For now, Chile has the largest reserves but is the second largest supplier after Australia. But cleantech investors and entrepreneurs want to change that, by injecting billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs in Imperial Valley, an economically disadvantaged region in southern California where the Salton Sea has the potential to meet a third of global lithium demand.
