and 50% of the EV is made from oil
The government forcing people to is.
They know there are never going to be enough EVs built or enough energy produced by “renewables” so these details don’t bother them.
I don’t care about using natural resources for transportation. What is really immoral about driving an EV is the huge government subsides used to keep the price down. Nearly everything that is so-called green is done on the taxpayers back. It’s not transparent. It’s not efficient. When I see someone driving an EV I want to go up to them ask for my money back.
When the huge government subsides are removed LOOK OUT
and 50% of electricity is lost in transmission
From what Iâve read, the typical EV has a carbon footprint of about 80,000 miles sitting on the showroom floor.
Progressives donât want to do the math. But itâs worse than just that. They want to silence anyone who does do the math.
The biggest known lithium deposit in this country is at Thacker Pass Nevada. People want to mine it but the environmentalist do not want that to happen. They want electric cars but not the mining necessary to get the minerals required for the batteries.
If you’re all pissed about taxpayer subsidies for the cars now, just wait until they have to subsidize and price freeze electric power. We will spend trillions on crappy “renewable” electrical supply systems, and will still have massive supply shortages and blackouts. There’s no way we can come close to powering everyone’s EVs, and if the whole point of forcing EVs on everyone is to avoid fossil fuels, they will claim we need to spend trillions upon trillions for green energy supply.
The government wants electric cars, because of limited mileage, to force people living in the suburbs and country to move into urban areas where they can be controlled by the military. Either ours or the U.N.
Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds
So we’re barely making a dent.
There is new battery technology coming. I think Lithium demand is transitory.
Oh I used the t word.
Well, I balance my immoral Hybrid with a traditional Hummer H3.
They also fully intend to make good on their promise to murder some 7 billion people globally, so there were be plenty of EVs available to the elite and electric trains for the remainders/slave class.
They not only don't want to, they can't, because they don't understand it.
Mining in general leaves a nasty scar on the landscape.
Compare that to an oil well that occupies less than one acre of land for the wellhead, pumpjack, storage tanks.
If true, the gop should be making this known to combat the insanity of the left
What until the power grid fails in places that normal don't have problems. Most of the country isn't filled with morons that think brownouts and blackouts are a sign of progress like California.
