Until Lithium is out of mix, it is an uphill battle

I laugh when anyone refers to EV's as clean energy.

Do a little research on lithium mining, tell me how clean it is. Oh and btw...it's mined in Chile and contaminates ground water like nothing you can imagine...Chile is also the source of a lot of fruits and vegies in the US...like grapes that are more or less all water....

Would you say that lithium mining is more or less ecologically damaging -- Upwind of uva 01/11/2022 3:32PM

That is a somewhat false equivalency -- Vienna_Hokie 01/11/2022 5:01PM

I consider hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the only true "clean" transportation ** -- EDGEMAN 01/11/2022 6:50PM

It's not a false equivalency at all... it wasn't even an equivalency -- Upwind of uva 01/11/2022 5:55PM

Note to self, don't buy a used Toyota Hybrid with these installed in them. ** -- Vtskier1 01/11/2022 11:26AM
