The True Cost Of The Lithium Mining Boom Powering Electric Cars

With demand for electric batteries sky high, mining companies are making their move on the salt flats of the Andes, where over half of the world's known reserves of lithium are stored.

  2. Poor suckers. To survive they better get the DemonRats to bus them up here. Then they can live for free with food, medical, education, housing, clothes, shoes, and what ever they want by saying they will vote for them.

  5. Did the ocean freighter fire carrying 3,000 ev’s….off the coast of the Netherlands sink….????

    I read that one ev battery caught fire and was spreading….because fighting a ev battery fire with saltwater doesn’t work out well….(kinda stupid to ship ev’s across our oceans….ya think.)

    I wonder how bad this ev fire will hurt our climate….????

  7. This is a test of the GE capitalist system. The powers that be will exploit the mines, be eco conscious, clean up their mess and pay the fees and personal injury lawsuits without contesting them - just like they ALWAYS do - RIGHT?
