Every electric car has one thing in common: they all require batteries, A LOT of them. And these batteries all use lithium. Have these libtards given a moments thought as to WHERE this lithium comes from? I seriously doubt it. Well, it ISN\'T PRETTY:

The subject has been looked at. If electric cars need enough of it to justify opening up new lithium mines, this will happen. It\'s doesn\'t look as if all the richer deposits around the world are being worked yet, and if they get worked out, the element will get dug out of places where the ores aren\'t as rich.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium
There are researchers looking at other battery chemistries - there are a lot of them - and if lithium gets expensive enough one of them will probably become main stream.
Lithium was one of the elements produced in the big bang. It gets eaten up in the cores of main sequence stars, but super-nova seem to have produced enough that there\'s more of it in second and third generation stars than there is in first generation stars (who have been eating up what they got from the big bang.)

Hey SL0W MAN, the mining of lithium is, right now, an ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER - didn\'t you even READ the article? But you won\'t hear this from the liberal press. And they ARE looking for other sources of lithium. I personally watched a helicopter depart an airport in Nevada on a daily basis that had a long probe out of its nose. This probe had a magnetometer on it. They were mapping the area for rare earth metals used in electric car manufacturing.

That\'s why we should go with smaller batteries for daily use, removable one for long trips, and charging stations every 30 miles. When there are enough charging stations, people won\'t need big batteries.
Also keep the old (10 yrs is old for EV) cars running as much as possible..

Ed doesn\'t understand batteries very well. He doesn\'t get that you can charge a larger battery at a higher current and get it charged up in the same amount of time as a smaller battery. Conversely, a smaller battery can not be charged as fast as a larger battery and so will take many long charging stops to get where he wants to go.

Rick doesn\'t understand that you can charge batteries in segments. My auxiliary batteries can be charged in 4 parallel segments of 100V and run in series of 400V. Well, at least in theory, until I get someone to install hooks in my main batteries.

Ed doesn\'t understand that cars are already set up to charge rapidly as practical. He also doesn\'t understand that people want to drive cars, not do goofy things to get them charged.
Bottom line is my car will charge as fast as his car because NONE of the cells are receptive to being charged faster. It doesn\'t matter how you configure the cells.

No. We should regulate the mining companies so they spend a little bit more on keeping their mining operations tidy. Mining doesn\'t have to be an environmental disaster, but if the companies can get a way with the cheapest possible approach (by bribing somebody like Trump) they are tempted to save money by trashing the neighourhood.

You are the kind of gullible twit who takes Trump\'s spectacularly implausible election propaganda seriously. The rump of the Republican Party may be silly enough to do the same, but it seems unlikely.

Actually your article didn\'t show that Lithium mining is any worse than any other mining. Autos are made of iron. Where do you think that comes from?

Or how about the limestone used in making roadways?

Asphalt is probably the worst stuff around. Not just mining the materials, but then covering 30 million acres in the US...

Every electric car has one thing in common: they all require batteries, A LOT of them. And these batteries all use lithium. Have these libtards given a moments thought as to WHERE this lithium comes from? I seriously doubt it. Well, it ISN\'T PRETTY:
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-batteries-environment-impact
The subject has been looked at. If electric cars need enough of it to justify opening up new lithium mines, this will happen. It\'s doesn\'t look as if all the richer deposits around the world are being worked yet, and if they get worked out, the element will get dug out of places where the ores aren\'t as rich.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium
There are researchers looking at other battery chemistries - there are a lot of them - and if lithium gets expensive enough one of them will probably become main stream.
Lithium was one of the elements produced in the big bang. It gets eaten up in the cores of main sequence stars, but super-nova seem to have produced enough that there\'s more of it in second and third generation stars than there is in first generation stars (who have been eating up what they got from the big bang.)
The mining of lithium is, right now, an ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER - didn\'t you even READ the article? But you won\'t hear this from the liberal press. And they ARE looking for other sources of lithium. I personally watched a helicopter depart an airport in Nevada on a daily basis that had a long probe out of its nose. This probe had a magnetometer on it. They were mapping the area for rare earth metals used in electric car manufacturing.
That\'s why we should go with smaller batteries for daily use, removable one for long trips, and charging stations every 30 miles. When there are enough charging stations, people won\'t need big batteries.
No. We should regulate the mining companies so they spend a little bit more on keeping their mining operations tidy. Mining doesn\'t have to be an environmental disaster, but if the companies can get a way with the cheapest possible approach (by bribing somebody like Trump) they are tempted to save money by trashing the neighourhood.
or bribing Biden to do it in China or some hidden places under control of CCP. Look like we will have four more years to complaint about our new President\'s dirty laundry.
You are the kind of gullible twit who takes Trump\'s spectacularly implausible election propaganda seriously. The rump of the Republican Party may be silly enough to do the same, but it seems unlikely.
Nobody sane would rely on China for strategic materials, and US politicians exist to get bribed by US moneyed interests. China isn\'t going to get a look in.
After Trump\'s horrible example, the bribery and corruption will probably have to be much less ostentatious for the next few years at least. It\'s conceivable that the US may eventually get it\'s act together and run the country in a way that delivers a rather better quality of life to the 99% in the lower end of the income distribution, but I\'m not all that optimistic.

No, they all require a source of electricity. Even a rightwing wack-job
should understand that!
Coal mining ain\'t making West Virginia any prettier, either:

We have similar problems with open pit copper mining.
Tom is just selective about what he wants to gripe about.
