No S*** Sherlock! The production/pollution costs of making the batteries alone are a significant offset their ‘greeness’ and the idiots never considered that the power to charge them could NOT be produced by windmills.
LOL! I know. Elon musk and his soon to be “gigafactory” outside of Reno ought to be interesting as far as haz waste is concerned. But it’ll bring some jobs to the area for a while anyway. And, I think a lot of them will be over the much vaunted $15.00/hr too. It’d take me more than 15 minutes to get there so I’m not gonna make the drive. :>}
