The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable electric power has gone mainstream, most visibly in the auto industry. The major car companies are chasing Tesla with ambitious plans for fleets of electric vehicles. Those cars and trucks run on lithium batteries.
The U.S. has massive quantities of lithium, but has been slow to invest in the mining and extraction of the metal. That's about to change.
Lithium operations powered by clean energy are being developed in a long neglected, impoverished part of California by the Salton Sea, not far from the Mexican border.
The region is being called Lithium Valley and just like the 1849 Gold Rush, companies are racing to strike it rich.
East of San Diego and south of Palm Springs lies the Salton Sea - California's largest inland body of water.
