The irony - Very few things are dirtier than battery production and consumption.
Back when industry’s believed asbestos was a miracle material (it is, still is, and always will be) nobody could know that if you smoked, and worked around asbestos, the combo would cause agressive lung cancers.
It didn’t stop lawyers from sewing the industry out of business, of course.
Ever notice that we never had shuttle issues with heat shields until the greenies forced NASA to use different materials in the shielding process on the main tank and thrusters?
All this battery thing is doing is giving lawyers kids an industry to kill when they retire and pass them the firm.
“Greenies” didn’t make NASA do that ~ it was their own too politically correct management team that did that.
