I own an EV (excellent commuter car) and can attest all of his points are entirely accurate.

Moreover:

The “planet” is a huge chunk of inert matter floating through space. Doesn’t care about anything and humans can’t save or kill it.

However, CO2 is a vital trace gas necessary for all life on earth, and all life on earth would benefit from having a bit more of it.

<>does that include the mining?<> Probably. I haven’t seen figures.

It helps to read a post before yammering about stuff you didn't read.

<>Ignorance speaks to what you know. You have to mine, somewhere on earth, 500,000 pounds of minerals and rock to make one battery.<>

I was referring to electricity generation.
Specifically the mining and processing required to gather the nuclear fuel.

There are multiple battery technologies being pursued. The mining requirements vary.

Yeah, but somewhere one of the other Falcons is still pulling away from the stop sign.

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.

Remove your hat when Strelnikov’s armored train passes by.
