I grew up in that region in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. The Salton Sea did indeed go from a unique paradise to a disaster in just a few decades. Your article is quite accurate. Back then, fishing for Corvina was a bountiful harvest, and the weather was great in the winter ....... fond memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-a3sQ09DFo It is today, as your article describes, an eco-disaster ...... so sad. Thanks so much for a walk-back-in-time.

I'm holding out for vacuum energy extraction technology myself. The alternative energy movement would all be quite humorous if it wasn't so dangerous.

Agreed. Messing with the power grid can and does get people killed.

I really enjoyed this article. I live in San Diego and i didn’t know half of the details you provided here. I think this was a great summary of the Salton Sea’s sad environmental history along with a very interesting and balanced description of the lithium mining developments going on there.

The chances of actual extraction are higher at the bottom of the Mariana Tench than in California.

“Empty space may be regarded as having the absolute temperature 0.”

Arrhenius, 1896

Just! Flat! Wrong!

Near Earth space = 394 K, 121 C, 250 F.

1,368 W/m^2, UCLA Diviner, ISS HVAC engineer, astronaut backpack life support concur.

288 K w GHE - 255 K wo GHE = -18 C ice ball = impossible.

“Never mind. It’s water vapor. My bad.”
