it goes without saying we all want cleaner air but the force
electric vehicles is not the way to do this.
there is only so much lithium to mine from the earth and when
thats is gone it is gone. lithium is also needed
in medical , glass / ceramics and an array of other feilds.
the other problem arrises is when the replacement batteries
cost more than a new car. if you own a car with a dead
battery, you have no choice but to scrap it do to the cost
involved. it should also be noted that
mining the materials for these cars will tear the planet up
more than drilling a hole for fossil fuels. all though
well meaning this plan lacks intellectual foresight and should be
abandoned at all costs. thank you
