There you go, claiming that innovation ‘n technology ‘n stuff will respond to a problem and solve it.

You will never get invited to join the freeper Luddite Society with that attitude.

[Nateman]

This nonsense only ends if we find a way to remove Democrats from power.

[VTenigma]

I prefer a quarter mile.

Sorry, but nope.

I think I have seen this or similar about this recycling operation before. I’m glad someone is on the case.

[rktman]

Butt butt butt.........

[Paladin2]

I have to walk the dog and prefer to stay out of the brush that on rare occasions contains those cougars one hears about [or sees the tracks in the snow].

So, it’s up to and along the road.

[matt04]

Hey! That was my idea! Just toss em in a big pile, and let the thermal runaway fires burn away all but the valuable metal and say how green it is they are recycled, just ignore all the toxic and deadly smoke.

[Nifster]

Simple answer is NO

[Nifster]

Excellent point

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is going to get messy.

[VTenigma]

Yeah the worst we have are black bears, although I have seen the ever elusive catamount (easter cougar).

[FlingWingFlyer]

Make Gummie Bears or Mike and Ikes out them.

The entire vehicle wiring harness is a giant loop antenna transmitting 100db H fields at all kinds of harmonics.

They are supposed to wire these things in a canceling loop configuration as we always do for large spacecraft batteries and harnesses to counteract instrument interference and Earth magnetic field interaction that messes with attitude control. I have seen nothing though that confirms they even know about that in the EV world.

[blackdog]

Twisted pair?

“No problem. Just throw them on the heaps of windmill blades.”

That will do wonders for the ‘environment’, a huge pile of fiberglass windmill blades getting lit off by a huge pile of Lithium Ion batteries.

[blackdog]

Mike & Ikes. Damn fine product. Orange and lemon eaten first. Cherry last.

My pacemaker manual says I can't run a battery powered weedwhacker without harm. I think that covers EV's too! According to the chart I have in the manual I can't go within 6.3 meters of a charger or the batteries.

I remember reading in another forum where a man came up with some sort of shielding garment that allowed him to use a welder without disturbing his pacemaker. I can try to find the specifics, if you're interested.

[BobL]

“...except the cost to recycle makes it prohibitive.”

Since when is ‘cost’ a factor in the Great Reset?
