Maybe google “was leaded gas bad”.
Ignore science as you like - say it is all fake and uncertain.
Insist that gas vehicle are not an ecological problem - all you like - it matters not.
The world is thinking differently - not just me - the world.
You have selective amnesia Brew. You only remember stuff that you want to and completely ignore other facts that dispute it.
I've heard this is part of the dogma of the GREEN religion and is indoctrinated into you by repeating the mantra that fossil fuels are bad but EVs are good for the environment. It's the kind of brainwashing technique you find in a cult.
EeeeeeeVeees Aren’t “Earth Friendly”By eric -October 25, 2022
Quote:In the Department of there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, it is reported that in order to supply the raw materials needed to make batteries for EeeeeeeVeeeees, it will be necessary to break ground – literally – for 384 new graphite, cobalt and nickel mines.
Plus vast leach fields for the lithium.
That’s a lot of Earth Rape – in the name of “the environment.”
Well, in the name of forestalling the “crisis” that is “imminent” on account of the 0.04 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere that is carbon dioxide increasing by a fraction of that percent.
Of course, they don’t tell you that. About the 0.04 percent. Because they want you to believe it is a much larger percent. So as to make you afraid and thus amenable. Like “the cases” – as opposed to the deaths. (And the deaths . . . when it comes to the “vaccines.”)
They also don’t want you to know how much it will take to forestall a fractional increase in the 0.04 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere that is carbon dioxide. As in how much it will take – from the Earth.
Every EeeeeeeVeeeee battery requires an enormous quantity of the materials mentioned earlier – because it takes an enormous battery to power a single EeeeeeeVeeee. One that is about twenty times the weight (and size) of the automotive batteries most people are familiar with, the lead-acid ones that start the engines in non-electric cars. These are typically about 9 inches long and about the same inches wide and weigh around 50 pounds. A small EeeeeeeeVeeeee battery pack for a small EeeeeeeVeeee such as a Tesla Model 3 weighs around 1,000 pounds and is spread out over most of the length and width of the EeeeeeVeeeee’s floorplan.
A battery that size – for a Honda Civic-sized EeeeeeeVeeee like the Tesla 3 – requires about 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt and 200 pounds of copper. Larger EeeeeeVeeees – such as trucks – require twice as much of the same stuff. A big truck – like the EeeeeeVeeee versions of the big rigs that transport most everything we need from coast to coast – would need many times more of the same stuff.
Most of this stuff is extremely “environmentally unfriendly” – as well as extremely expensive.
