This Toxic, Drying U.S. Lake Could Turn Into the ‘Saudi Arabia of Lithium’ | WSJ

So what kinds of new tech are companies using to get to this lithium despite the corrosive conditions?
WSJ takes you behind the scenes to understand how companies are building entirely new ways to extract lithium from the area and what it means for the future of domestic lithium production.
