“California’s Lithium Valley holds incredible promise to fast-track the nation’s transition to clean energy and bolster our fight against climate change,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Our state is making historic progress to transform this region into a global hub for battery production while expanding inclusive economic opportunity, community benefits, and good jobs in the Imperial Valley. We’re grateful for the Biden-Harris administration’s support to continue this momentum at a pivotal point in the world’s efforts to move away from fossil fuels.”
