Switch to Nuclear for electricity and both inconvenient facts go away.
Never go full retard.
Inconvenient fact 3: the environmentalists wanting EVs will fight tooth and nail to prevent expanding the grid to handle the load, including nuclear.
...not to mention the inevitable planned obsolescence of the battery, itself.
CO2 is NOT a pollutant!🙄
RE: CO2 is NOT a pollutant!
No, but they are pointing to it as a major culprit in WARMING the Planet, thus causing the ice caps to melt and the oceans to rise, eventually flooding our cities and making them uninhabitable ( while many of them actually LIVE near the ocean ).
“ Inconvenient fact 3: the environmentalists wanting EVs will fight tooth and nail to prevent expanding the grid to handle the load, including nuclear.”
That’s because the real objective here is to eliminate personal vehicles altogether. The powers that be don’t want us peons exercising our right to freedom of movement. We’re supposed to stay put in our little urban sweatbox, watching state propaganda tv while consuming insect sandwiches.
My twenty-year-old truck burns gasoline. My neighbor’s EV burns coal. Lol
Our ‘leaders’ must be looking at we serfs saying
to themselves:
Sigh, you just can’t teach an old horse new tricks.
Off to the glue factory they go....
It still takes fossil fuels to make electric cars, and to mine/transport/convert the metals into batteries.
That’s inconvenient fact 4....
Claim you’re gonna convert to producer gas, then tell your neighbor you both can burn coal.
They call that forced composting in California.
does that include the mining?
yep its going to be shut up and get on the bus
the real goal is public transportation
only the rich and powerful will have personal transportation
bingo!
I believe it was Bloom County that revealed that the blessed peon waves as the glorious leader drives by, blowing kisses at his solid gold limo.
HazmatLithium battery fires
The cargo ship Felicity Ace, carrying thousands of cars, has sunk due to the fire onboard which occurred in mid February. The ship carried a large amount of electric cars, and the burning lithium on board is thought to have made extinguishing efforts much worse.
In mid-February, a large fire broke out on the cargo ship Felicity Ace, which transported thousands of cars to the United States - including an unknown number of electric cars that are believed to have made the situation worse.
The 200 meter long cargo ship Felicity Ace sank after a fire that broke out on board, and lasted for 13 days, reports the news agency AP. The ship was transporting around 4,000 cars between Germany and the United States. The fire started on one of the cargo decks on February 16.
At the time, the ship was located about 100 kilometers from the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The 22 crew members were able to be quickly evacuated without any injuries. When the ship sank, the fire had finally been extinguished, and Felicity Ace was in the process of being towed towards shore.
Just a matter of time before a e-car battery fire in a parking garage below a high rise will result in extensive damage to the building & possibly multiple deaths.
Probably. I haven’t seen figures.
I doubt fossil fuel expenditure for mining nuclear fuel comes anywhere near the energy produced
You do have some environmental concerns with the mining itself including waste products from the mining process and radioactive dust.
