Tuesday, August 11, 2020

(SACRAMENTO, CA) – On Monday, August 3, the California State Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications voted to approve Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia’s AB 1657 – Blue Ribbon Commission on Lithium Extraction in California. This measure would require the California Energy Commission (CEC) to establish a Blue Ribbon Commission to explore and expand the state’s emerging lithium recovery industry.

“This is a significant opportunity for California as well as our Imperial Valley community to achieve our climate goals, balance the electrical grid, and stimulate economic development in areas most in need of investment,” said Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia. “We have not come close to tapping into the potential of this renewable power industry. By actively expanding this energy technology and developing a competitive lithium industry, this commission could serve as a valuable lever of our state’s economic recovery strategy to help bring back jobs and recoup critical economic losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
