In search of 'Lithium Valley': why energy companies see riches in the California desert  The Guardian

Firms say what’s underneath the Salton Sea could fuel a green-energy boom. But struggling residents have heard such claims before

Standing atop a pockmarked red mesa, Rod Colwell looks out at an expanse of water that resembles a thin blue strip on the horizon. The Salton Sea, California’s largest lake, has come and gone at least five times in the last 1,300 years, most recently in 1905, when floodwaters from the Colorado River refilled its basin.

A mid-century resort destination, the lake has since become an environmental disaster zone. Its waters, long fed by pesticide-laden runoff from nearby farms, have been steadily evaporating, exposing a dusty shoreline that kicks up lung-damaging silt into the surrounding communities of the Imperial Valley, where rates of asthma are alarmingly high.

Supplier appointed by Ofgem also at centre of speculation that it could bid for rival challenger Bulb

Octopus Energy is taking on 580,000 customers left stranded when Avro Energy ceased trading last week, and is at the centre of speculation that it could bid for another player, Bulb Energy.

As the UK gas crisis continued to wreak havoc on the sector, the regulator, Ofgem, appointed Octopus to take over supplying Avro Energy’s customers following what was described as a competitive process “to get the best deal possible”.
