The demand for lithium is a trade off in a single, underpaid human's 2$ a day tragedy. That overburden removed is massive.
Only to end up with lithium to make any new EV weigh more than twice the average auto in similar size.
T or F? Extra fast Tire wear?
Looks are deceiving! Weigh one at a farm chem service or grain elevator!
Nuclear bombs were birthed by uranium, plutonium, hydrogen and get this! Plus certain numbered elements? of lithium too! Like Lithium 2 or Lithium 6......Then add more strange sh!t and just like magic?
I was amazed at this three way Big Auto makers partnership did not utter the words climate change.
Both follow our D.C. Dem admin's ideas about retiring the depenable combustion engine by 2035! Imagine that!

The Department of Transportation/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards have now become a tool wielded by the Biden administration to club Americans into submission to electric vehicles.
What do the latest edition of CAFE standards imposed by the NHTSA do? Place the internal combustion engine in the course of ultimate extinction. But itโs all for our own good.
In the โexpertsโ word from above: โThe push for more E.V.s comes as the worldโs leading climate experts say that retiring the internal combustion engine is critical to staving off the most deadly effects of global warming.โ
Like every regulator grant of power to the administrative agencies of the executive branch, the agency has grabbed the power and expanded it beyond its original intent. They have good intentions, of course, or something like them.
Intent aside, these people are fascist nuts. We want nothing more than to be left alone, but they want to run our lives. Count the ways. FULL STORY

That is a great find and logical critique of illogical thinking the internal combustion engines will one day only be seen in museums and metal scrap yards that will take centuries to recycle.
Ref Riddick FYI: โout this fresh one that's similarly noted 5 posts above
To identify the charade, all one need do is do the math: Eight-hundred-thousand dollars for each station completed so far is significantly more than the 15,000 figure given by the Biden-Harris administration. At this rate, 500,000 stations will cost $400 billion, not the $7.5 billion the administration promised -
If the Biden-Harris administration is so wrong with this program, one must consider how many government programs designed to bring electric vehicles to the masses are similarly defective.

EVs are stacking up like all-you-can-eat pancakes. Pass the butter & syrup? HA!
The problem is that's what happens when a product is produced in quantity yet folks aren't buying. Consumers have no appetite for EVs. Is it any wonder why? Countless are the reasons they're piling up & no knives & forks will touch them -
Demand for them is as flat as a pancake-! Just as it is, buyer's remorse can drive owners daffy AND they don't do a damn thing to stop the supposed climate crisis. Batteries exploding is a feature not a bug to go with their amazing unaffordability.
Will there be a supply/demand reckoning? Or will we simply see even more market meddling? YEAH, that's the ticket. Command & control mandates to the rescue! -
You vill eat bugs.And own nothing. And you vill live happily ever after.THE END.

Where does their fiat ๐ฅ(not ours)billion$ end up when it finally drie$ up?
Why did the Fed even offer to build charging stations? When the EV side of the auto industry have the "multi mullas" to build them under their own brand names. That would be cheap, perpetual, advertisements!
"Tesla" - "GM" - "Fiat" - "Toyota" etc! The plugs would fit 'em all.
But our present VP could have issues plugging one in!
Picture this! Huge logoed electrified signs would show their locations offering up diesel powered well muffled generators running 24-7!
To date I've just seen one charging station in *Vonnsah, Indiana!
Does HALLOWE(EEK!)N have a theme song? You bet it does!

Storm surge vs EV's sitting in, or driven through salt water can self ignite!
A stinging indictment of EV tech right there that no balm can heal or soothe! -
The one sure solution to not get stuck with a flaming vehicle? Flee the EV bee.

Fire fighting to snuff out EVs alight news wise have called for tankers pouring in 6,000 gallons of water until those battery banks in reality burn themselves out!
One would believe calling for a food truckfor mutual aid would provide the hot dogs cooked to order!
Another green energy domino is falling, and we have bipartisanship to thank for it! The action comes as EV sales, a keystone of compliance with this nonsense, have begun to slow.
The effort is not expected to eliminate the rule. If the resolution makes it past the Senate, Biden (or his designated minder of the day) will veto it. However, it is still a positive sign that real climate science is chipping away at โconsensusโ science.
Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz campaign is silent on climate policy, which is odd because Harris was tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act that was, in reality, the Green New Deal that brought policies like the EV mandate.
For Democrats, talking about climate and its flip-side issue, fracking, is a lose-lose proposition just now. If Harris pushes anti-carbon policies, she might lose Pennsylvania. If she supports fracking, she risks alienating young climate voters.
It will take a long time to chip away in piecemeal fashion all the economic damage done under Harris and her green energy minions. But the House vote is a good sign that even more dominoes will fall.
