American scientists Has discovered very large lithic stores. This precious store has been discovered under the blurred water of Salon Sagar in California. According to an estimate, the price of this reserves can be US $ 540 billion. Lithium is called white gold, which can give America a chance to become self -sufficient in this metal case. This will significantly reduce its dependence on foreign imports.
Challenge in acquiring white gold
This discovery can be very beneficial for the US, but there are many challenges to remove this treasure, which can affect local communities, environment and geopolitical landscapes. Salon Sagar, located in the Imperial County, Southern California, has been a long time of attraction and concern. The lake, once a popular destination for tourists, has been facing important environmental challenges over the years.
Lithium
The lithium is one of the largest stores of lithium brine in the world below its surface. Recent studies conducted by the funding of the US Energy Department suggests that about 1.8 million tonnes of lithium is pressed under the lake. This is more than more than 40 million tonnes of reinforced.
Lithium is used to make electric vehicles (EV) batteries. This EV can give a new look of the battery industry. This will provide adequate lithium for the battery of 38.2 electric vehicles. This is currently more than the total number of vehicles operating on American roads.
Dependence on China will end
The Professor at the University of California, who contributed to the study, stressed the importance of discovery, saying, “It is one of the world’s largest Lithium Brine Bhandare.” This can make the US completely self -sufficient in lithium and can stop its imports from China.
Due to its important role for the battery, the lithium reserves, called white gold, have also aroused enthusiasm in the political circles of California. Governor Gavin Newsom has called Salon Sagar Saudi Arabia after searching. The global demand for lithium is skyrocketing due to the wave of electric vehicles. In such a situation, the US has a unique opportunity to establish itself as a global leader in lithium production. Possibly it can overtake China as primary supplier.
