The Salton Sea, California's largest body of inland water, lies 227 feet below sea level in the middle of the Mojave Desert. There is enough lithium at the bottom of the Sea to power nearly 400 million electric vehicles. They say you can fish and swim in the Salton Sea, but I wouldn’t trust it. There is that foul smell, plus the highly saline Sea is ground zero for an uptick in child respiratory issues.
Frankly, I wouldn’t live remotely near the Salton Sea, but it does make for an intriguing stop for connoisseurs of disaster tourism. Go!
