The carrying capacity of the planet's precious metals needed to
be mined by forced slave and child labor cannot sustain America or
even just California moving toward all EVs. The electrical grid
cannot sustain high heat temperatures without brownouts seen in
2021. How can each city or town create the demand load needed for
everyone to get a permit to double the electricity needs? Who is
responsible for the GHG on Scope 2? The life cycle assessment of
the manufacturing of parts for these vehicles far exceed the
climate impacts that we hope to negate. Please consider delaying
this action until we can triple the supply of power to charge these
vehicles, an excellent supply chain and infrastructure to recycle
the batteries in the state of CA to be responsible with our own
hazardous waste, and to improve the ability to purchase sustainable
materials and products that are not bourne off the backs of forced
labor.
