I just posted this on your other thread. The presenter blows the lid off of the nonsense.
This video explores the required materials needed to complete the transition from fossil fuels to the “green economy”. It’s basically an engineering feasibility study. It’s reasonably thorough.
The quantity of metal required to make just one generation of renewable tech units to replace fossil fuels, is much larger than first thought. Current mining production of these metals is not even close to meeting demand. Current reported mineral reserves are also not enough in size. Most concerning is copper as one of the flagged shortfalls. Exploration for more at required volumes will be difficult, with this seminar addressing these issues.

Wife and I lived in the city of Atlanta and each drove 20-25 miles a day back and forth to work and not much more on weekends.
We worked for different employers and worked different hours. It would have been nice to have two EVs for in-town use, and a gasoline powered vehicle for road trips. Unfortunately, that arrangement was not realistic financially. I don’t have anything against EVs, it’s just that I don’t think they’re the magical, do everything unicorns the libs make them out to be.
“It’s magical thinking.”
The return to magical thinking seems to be the hallmark of our era. It’s everywhere. Climate change, COVID, electric vehicles, stopping world problems by changing your social media profile pic, thinking you can ease inflation by handing out government checks; this is the social disease of our time.
The only reason I consider getting one is because my employer has charging stations and pays for the charging.
And they do this for completely altruistic reasons- they sell the charging stations, installation, maintenance, and billing to our customers.
The goal is not to force most people to drive EVs. Even the far left knows that the power grid could never take it, especially as they shut down coal and gas power plants and try to power the grid with wind, sunshine, rainbows and unicorn farts.
The goal is to force most sheeple to live in high density apartments in democrat controlled cities and ride mass transit. Then the rich liberal elite can ride around in $100K EVs without having to wait in traffic.
During the local news break it was announced that the state of Illinois is offering tax rebates on the purchase of EVs. To qualify, one must be a resident of Illinois and one must purchase the EV from an Illinois car dealer. Does Tesla have any dealerships? Is this a case of ‘Tesla purchasers need not apply’?

Don’t buy an electric vehicle, you will be sorry, 2/3 of EV owners DO NOT BUY A SECOND EV, they buy gas engine vehicle!
