The use of coal is growing rapidly in countries that are not suicidal. Electric vehicles are much heavier and thus require more power than an ICE vehicle. Oil and coal extraction are less energy intensive and cleaner than lithium. CO2 is not a pollutant. Electricity is far more expensive than oil and gas. A warming climate may be a good thing for humanity and rising CO2 levels are greening the Planet. Government intervention in energy policy will cause much more suffering than the imagined problem being pushed by the Global Communist movement.

>> The use of coal is growing rapidly in countries that are not suicidal.<<

Coal use is flat globally for ten years. Even in China, its up only slightly in the last years, while China’s energy use has more than doubled.

>> Electric vehicles are much heavier and thus require more power than an ICE vehicle. <<

Marginally heavier, but fantastically more efficient. ICEs use only about 20% of the fuel they burn.

>> Oil and coal extraction are less energy intensive and cleaner than lithium. <<

A lithium battery does not CONSUME lithium. At present, it’s so cheap that it rarely recycled. At higher costs, it will be recycled.

>> CO2 is not a pollutant. <<

True, at least not in the sense that it causes poisoning.

>> Electricity is far more expensive than oil and gas. << Bizarrely untrue.

>> A warming climate may be a good thing for humanity <<
May be a good thing for life in general, and relatively harmless for humans who want to move away from their current homes to live in Siberia or the Canadian Shield.

>> Government intervention in energy policy will cause much more suffering than the imagined problem being pushed by the Global Communist movement. <<
Absolutely true, making me wonder if you actually even read my post.

Oil and coal extraction are less energy intensive and cleaner than lithium. CO2 is not a pollutant. Electricity is far more expensive than oil and gas. A warming climate may be a good thing for humanity and rising CO2 levels are greening the Planet.
