EVs are great, aren’t they?

Save the environment!" by plugging our cars into the coal- and natural-gas powered electric grid. Unless we want to build some nukes. 🤣

Excerpt: Because lithium’s concentration in ore at Thacker Pass runs as low as two-tenths of one percent, producing one ton of the stuff for use by society entails [c=BF0000]strip mining [/c]and processing as much as 500 tons of earth. Over a single year, producing 60,000 tons of lithium at the site could mean digging up as much as 20 to 30 million tons of earth, more than the annual amount of earth dug up to produce all coal output of all but seven or eight U.S. states.

It's all about invalidating the successes of capitalism and replacing economic and personal freedom with government managed.

The role of the media in their collusion with the left is to prevent the public from peeking behind the curtain as their leaders brag about their achievements.

Wait till you find out about how they dispose of used batteries.

@MrBrownstone And it'll cost $20,000 to $25,000 to replace the battery.

Hard to argue with the religion of EVs
Time for the adherents to stop navel gazing

Wonder what kind of environmental devastation is resulting from that strip mining, never mind that its little kids involved.
Is that naval hernia? What are the chances that kid has received a few injuries doing that work?😕

Who cares all that matters is EVs and profits

You can get them cheap now. Inventories are building and dealers can’t sell them like they were a short year ago. Look for bargains if you’re buying one. And get a AAA subscription.

Firstly, EV manufacturers source their materials from reputable sources, not those that use child labour, like Apple and Samsung...

Secondly...

That's the China's way. I think there is a song about Cancer and CCP have in Common.

If only EV companies were as altruistic as Big Oil…
