Does it bother you that the minerals for your green energy come at a terrible cost?

Yeah, those coal and petroleum products are so clean and environmentally friendly.

They are insulated from reality. All they know is oil bad, gas bad.. battery good. All those other things you mention, they want to believe are minor tweaks that someone will take care of.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Yeah, those coal and petroleum products are so clean and environmentally friendly.

Less destructive by far.

Sounds like a job for socialism, IE, always Democratic fair capitalism with a good safety net. I'm sure our corporations will do nothing about it...

How are those Chinese power tools working for you?

 

[Yarddog]

Yeah, those coal and petroleum products are so clean and environmentally friendly.

And China has increased their coal and oil output to offset anything you think we have gained by using E.Vs here in the U.S. plus they are destroying the land in the process of the mining... and they will be spreading out their productions to places like Africa and latin America. The mistake was for us to go All IN without knowing all the details first.We woiuld have been better off to stick with U.S. oil production until something much better and sustainable was developed in EV batteries.

They've already figured out disposal Pretty much and they'll figure out the rest of it, and there is enough of these minerals in the United States.... What we need now is infrastructure so it's considered intelligent to buy one LOL....

How about those fireworks you bragged about. Does it bother you that they (most likely) came from China? 94% do.

And they'll all be driving electric and hybrid vehicles in China any minute now and they also build more Clean production and infrastructure than anywhere else. Of course I am in no way Celebrating their form of government Etcetera.

 

[Ralph Norton]

Yeah, those coal and petroleum products are so clean and environmentally friendly.

So we should replace them with other products that are also neither clean nor environmentally friendly?
Why?

Does it bother you that nuke and coal power both create radioactive waste? That has a life of several hundred to thousand years?

Yes coal ash is radioactive ..........

No such thing as a safe storage for radioactive waste ........

Some of the compromises are troubling, but some are necessary at all costs!

So we'll take that as a "yes" that you support child labour !! Wow.

List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor

www.dol.gov

Lithium-Ion Batteries ILAB has reason to believe that lithium-ion batteries manufactured in China are produced with an input produced with child labor, specifically cobalt ore mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Cobalt ore from the DRC was added to ILAB’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in 2009 for child labor. Cobalt is used in the production of nearly all lithium-ion batteries. The DRC produces the majority of the world’s cobalt. Most cobalt-producing mines in the DRC are owned or financed by Chinese companies. In 2020, China imported $2.17 billion of cobalt from the DRC. Between 49–80 percent of China’s refined cobalt imports are used to produce battery chemicals and components. Global imports of lithium-ion batteries from China were reported to be over $16.5 billion in 2020. Of the $4.3 billion in lithium-ion battery imports to the United States in 2020, 47.22 percent ($2.1 billion) were imported from China. This research suggests that further downstream products containing lithium-ion batteries may be produced with an input produced with child labor, such as electric cars, laptops, and cell phones.

The Democrats' favorite subsidized industry, of course. Several American billionaires love it no end.
