The US’s transition to electric vehicles could require three times as much lithium as is currently produced for the entire global market, causing needless water shortages, Indigenous land grabs, and ecosystem destruction inside and outside its borders, new research finds.

It warns that unless the US’s dependence on cars in towns and cities falls drastically, the transition to lithium battery-powered electric vehicles by 2050 will deepen global environmental and social inequalities linked to mining – and may even jeopardize the 1.5C global heating target.

But ambitious policies investing in mass transit, walkable towns and cities, and robust battery recycling in the US would slash the amount of extra lithium required in 2050 by more than 90%..

If you believe this article for face value then you really don't understand what's going on globally.

Big changes are coming, walking towns, which we had for 100 years, destroyed buy big box stores carrying products made with slave labor in China. If you go outside of your "walkable city" you will be fined an electric surcharge.

10 Chinese police stations in America

More all over the world.

Chinese cameras mounted at the top of cranes in America's ports.

There is so much more

Destroying the land in beautiful places for mining pits and windmills.

Offshore windmills have been in areas where whales are dying in unnormally large numbers and being blamed on getting hit by ships.

So we're being sold that these intelligent animals that work in groups and have sonar are dumb enough to get hit by tankers..

Not buying it.

Final thought, where is all the electricity coming from. No not windmills, no not dams, no not geothermal, natural gas and oil!

By the way, I'm not against electric cars, I'm against the agenda, the lies and the corruption.

Hope you dont get electrocuted during rainy season driving through a puddle

ok Dave, we will see about that in the future... btw, if you are in one of the most congested cities of the world, like Bangkok, look at the telephone poles, do you really believe that mess of wires is going to handle the draw.

This is nothing than the transfer of wealth to China and its slave labor market since America won't allow the digging on a mass scale of battery material from the ground such as lithium, nickel, cobalt lithium, manganese, so destroying the earth with diesel powered machines and using slave labor to build these 100,000 battery, batteries will be done in China.

When you look at the real costs of it, not in just the cost of rebuilding the entire grid to prevent blackouts, no its not really worth it. It's a cool concept for a city dweller but not for most of the public.

we live on som tan at least 6 nights a week and all its varieties. Not bad for being in America, we know where to get authentic ingredients.

A couple more years before I move to Thailand for good.

Yes, so go buy your electric cars so it can go up even more. You think gas prices are high.

How much did those noodles cost?

I did that over 8 years ago. Not a new thing. At day 28 I went to Cambodia for a few days and went back with a new 30 days

you really trust the volatility. If that is your game, go for it, if its money you have to have, look into insured transfers.
