Electric cars are NOT zero pollution. They merely redirect their pollution from the exhaust pipe to the electrical generation station (in the USA this is probably coal).

And the strip mines in Chile and Russia where the lithium and nickel are gathered that generate huge amounts of pollution. (Not to mention that they do it cheaper than can be done here. Lithium mines in Chile undercut a couple of mines here in North Carolina and drove them to close shop.)

Excellent point! I’ll add that to the list of the left’s ongoing hypocrisy.
