Another topic they don’t seem to be talking much about is the making and disposal of the battery systems for electric cars and what the environmental bugaboos are.

Big Wind's Dirty Little Secret: Toxic Lakes and Radioactive waste...
http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/analysis/big-winds-dirty-little-secret-rare-earth-minerals/
Oct 23, 2013 - Modern wind turbines depend on rare earth minerals mined primarily from China. ... Big Wind's Dependence on China's “Toxic Lakes”.
Also this:
A few residents in Falmouth, Massachusetts have finally won in their battle to have local wind turbines shut down due to the noise levels that they produced.
The Department of Environmental Protection released a report on Tuesday which stated that the noise levels from turbines less than 1,500 feet from the nearest home exceeded the acceptable state levels. Three megawatts of wind power will be shut down whilst further investigations are under way.
I know for a fact that the govt motors jolt jam down my troat tingly leg goings on certainly elevated my bp and ire both of which are not good for general health of myself or others.
Elon Musk can be formidable when crossed.
Everyone be careful with articles like this. For some reason Freepers take delight in anything negative about electric cars, but make no mistake, this is really a leftist attack on coal. Don’t fall for it.
Perhaps, but at least they cut an important revenue source for Russia, the Middle East, not to mention Venezuela. Also this is couched in the “evils” of using our very abundant resource coal.
Perhaps, but at least they cut an important revenue source for Russia, the Middle East, not to mention Venezuela. Also this is couched in the “evils” of using our very abundant resource coal, I guess the alternative would be nuclear for all that electricity, and nuclear has come a long way since Three Mile Island. It’s just a shame that we have not replaced our aging plants with more modern ones, ironically in the name of environmentalism.
I will not listen to any Enviro unless he explicitly supports Nuclear Power.
Read this post, I'd love you feedback: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3240394/posts?page=29#29
Are Battery breakthroughs ( amd replacing plants w/ here and now Co-Gen Nat. Gas Plants ) almost here for a real paradigm shift?....
Hoaxes work easily in a Gruber-stupid voting public scenario. I'm actually starting like this guy...he speaks more truth than any of them and obviously better understands the "system." To get rid of electric cars, no amount of factual information on thermodynamics will alter the course. The "stupid public" doesn't even know what the term means. Altering the course is much easier, you pay a "scientist" some tax dollars to show electricnc cars cause a 23.4% reduction in sexual drive. Then people will get rid of electric cars! (Don't ask....What does truth and fact have to do with it?)
wow, since the cars are bad for the environment, I might have to buy one...
I bet they got something wrong here. :)
I remember a FR post about a rain storm in Houston, and all the electric cars were shut down.
Yep the sting of truth to those who avoid it.

Scrap it all, and walk everywhere, to save the planet. If you want to know more, I will address your group for a moderately large “token” fee, plus expenses.
PM me, and I will tell you which aircraft to charter, and what my other requirements are, to address your group at the Island Paradise of my choice.
Naturally, you will also have to fly your attendees there to hear me speak on how to reduce their carbon footprints, and save the world.
