California lithium drilling and earthquakes


Recommended Posts

Any one else see the reports of Quakes and micro quakes in the salton sea area of california.  Lots of investment going into the Geo thermal drilling fields in that area, as they are getting lithium as a side product.  But its also causing earthquakes and micro swarms on a major Fault.

There is so much potential in that valley. Imagine not having to rely on the Middle East anymore for energy. Dig, dig dig

Great Idea. Right on the Fault.
