I love electric cars, but they are 30 years into the future!

Where does electricity come from? Coal? How are liberals this stupid?

"How much lithium ore does it take to make a car battery?
For instance, to manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just one battery."

Why are liberals this stupid? We need nuclear power. Wind and solar are a joke.

Hydrogen powered cars are the actual future.

I'm not altogether sure why expensive and about-as-un-green-as-coal lithium-mining caught on instead. It shouldn't make a great deal of difference to the actual vehicle and engine manufacturers, so presumably some very influential people around the world see more money in digging up 250 tons (US) per car, than in hydrogen, which is very plentiful and easily manufactured in an entirely green way if you're deriving your energy from green (incs nuclear, of course) sources.

Very intelligent post.

I think you're talking about hydrogen fuel cells, which produce electricity. So the car is electric, but it makes its own.

I don't know why that's not being explored, but it could be because the communists don't want a real solution.

@JimBeam yes sorry didn't make that clear but everyone probably knew what I meant!

@Persephonee
Actually, I only think that 1% of people knew what you meant. Fuel cells are never talked about, because the libs just want your money. They don't give two shits about the climate.

Wealthy liberals fly on private jets, and lecture you about using a clothes dryer instead of a clothes line.
