Environmental desecration!
Only a surprise to brain dead liberals.
Everything they try to make better, they end up actually creating more problems than what they are trying to “fix”.
Nothing says saving the environment like creating more superfund sites...
Like they did with what they used to call "clean burning natural gas" that they forced a lot of power utilities to switch to when forcing them to close coal plants.
Libtards have to pollute the world to save it
As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise.”
Lol. Why would this be surprising? It’s entirely expected.
The old school marxists of the 1930s-1980s had their own obvious ecological disasters, caused by the forced, mandated pursuit of their asinine ideology.
And it seems the Neo-Marxists of the 21st century will have theirs, too.
Specifically, it’s not the battery materials themselves, but additives to make the batteries less flammable.
On a related subject, another article pointed out how hybrids threaten pure electric vehicles. Hybrids don’t need charging stations, so they remove the incentive to build them, which in turn makes the pure EVs less attractive for anything beyond charge-at-home-or-work situations.
Those PFAS chemicals may be picked by those free range chickens and you when you eat chicken and their eggs.
Environmental desecration!
B...b...but...GREEN!!
This was known and ignored,,,,just like all the unicorn rainbow crap they spew.
Not a dang bit of it works as intended....its all to make you conform.
No one thinks anymore...they just feel.
GOD! Help us from these people. And, I call them people while holding my nose.
PFAS coatings are used in every fast-food paper wrapper it is the slick coating on the wrapper. It is also used in nearly every metal can liner it replaced BPA and is the only substitute for it currently. PFAS coatings are also used in nearly every metal nonstick pan and every “Teflon” coated surface. PFAS are also used to make plastic water bottles every last one of them look up micro plastics in HDPE or LDPE bottles. These chemicals are ubiquitous.
The hyperventilating about fluorine is especially lol. Fluoride is the dissolved ion form of elemental or gaseous fluorine...every municipal water District in the USA adds ionic or directly gaseous fluorine to the water supply it’s “healthy” and it’s required by federal law for any water supply over 1000 people. Carbon filters also by law cannot remove it you have to use ion exchange media so no your Britta filter is not taking it out drink up. Some.scientists found PFAS in batteries and are looking for grant money. Let’s talk about PFAS in direct contact with food every day all day them come back to hyperventilating about sealed metal containers. It’s comical how bad actual science has gotten in this country.
NOW! they tells us that electric vehicles are hazardous!
At least we have windmill blades that are not hazardous.
You just bury them...
