Don’t fault the brainless messenger.
We should be so lucky as to have a large chunk of Martha’s Vineyard suddenly collapse into a massive sinkhole, but every one of us needs to prepare for dishing out extrajudicial punishment for leftards and their supporters.
I’m so tired of this moron Biden and his band of Democrat idiots.
Still wondering where the electric vehicles are going to get tires if they destroy the oil industry.
Is It Immoral to Drive an Electric Vehicle?
Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV?
An oil well, where 100 percent organic material is pumped out of the ground, takes up around 500 to 1000 square feet. Then it flows in pipelines safely transporting the oil to refineries to be manufactured into usable oil derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 products for society, and into transportation fuels needed by the world’s heavy-weight and long-range infrastructures of aviation, merchant ships, cruise ships, and militaries.One lithium supply mine eliminates entire mountains. Each mine usually consists of thirty-five to forty humongous 797 Caterpillar haul trucks along with hundreds of other large equipment. Each 797 uses around half a million gallons of diesel a year. So, with an inventory of just thirty-five the haul trucks alone are using 17.5 million gallons of fuel a year for just one lithium site.
There is virtually non-existing transparency of the environmental degradation and the human rights abuses occurring in developing countries with yellow, brown, and black skinned people. Both human rights abuses and environmental degradation are directly connected to the mining for the exotic minerals and metals that are required to manufacture wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries.
Today, a typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds. It contains 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminium, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells.
It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. For instance, to manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just one battery.
The current fossil fuel infrastructure is less invasive than mining for the exotic minerals and metals required to create the batteries needed to store “green energy”. In developing countries, these mining operations exploit child labor, and are responsible for the most egregious human rights’ violations of vulnerable minority populations. These operations are also directly destroying the planet through environmental degradation.
“Everybody knows that” is what you say when trying to get people to accept a line of crap.
FJB
They’re NOT zero emission vehicles.
The chimneys of every power plant in the country is their exhaust pipe, not to mentions the lithium mining/refining needed for the batteries.
To combat high gas prices, America needs to rid itself of these so-called government “policy makers” and their imbecile pedo king and start drilling again.
Just like the annoying overuse of the word "right" following a statement.
Warren Buffet would not like that one bit.
Gee won’t that be swell
“due to rolling brown out conditions across the nation, people are not allowed to recharge their cars until the crisis is over. Please make other arrangements to get to aork and avoid all unessary travel... oh and wear a maks to prevent more brownouts”
The major problem here is very simple, Brandon and every lazy ass government employee making decisions about zero emissions never built anything in their lives. They never had a real frickin' job. And no, Brandon, working as a lifeguard and confronting CornPop isn't a real frickin' job.
True, since he has the only rail line from the ND oil fields to the Mississippi Delta refineries and was a big contributor to Biden’s campaign. Too bad...don’t care.
$3000 is the most I’ve ever paid for a vehicle.
The GOP and all conservatives need to start opposing everything about the Green Agenda.
If pedojoe would eat his diaper he might get smarter
I have a backyard full of Zero Emission vehicles.
Can I get a tax credit for them?
Yep......and you need one on your car that reads
“Tell me where the other end of your EV charger cord connected to again?”
Zero emissions my ass. 500,000 pounds of raw materials just don’t jump out of the ground and refine themselves. In toto EVs are far more damaging to the environment than ICE cars. Not only that but ICE cars are made of mostly recycled materials rendered from other ICE cars at the end of their life cycle. So far that can’t be done with EV’s battery packs which account for a great percentage of an EVs mass. It’s all bulls#it. Too bad no conservative with a national platform will stand up and say so.
Such an idiot - nobody’s going to afford 60 grand for an electric car that can’t even be charged state to state etc. Further nobody wants them.
