ChatGPT generated panoramic illustration of a geothermal energy site in California’s Imperial Valley, with a drilling rig, pipelines, and a power plant under a desert sky
The Hell’s Kitchen project in Imperial County, California, has attracted attention because it brings together two ambitions in one place. Controlled Thermal Resources is building a facility that would generate geothermal electricity while also extracting lithium from the same brine. The plan is to deliver 25,000 tons per year of … [continued]
