My wife’s cousin just proudly purchased a Tesla. Tonight she told me he posted a story about some guy who said investing in fossil fuels is a loser idea.
I asked her to check with her cousin and see if he has any idea how electricity for his Tesla is generated.
To be fair, where we live, some of it hydro power and some is nuclear along with natural gas.
Hydropower destroys millions of productive land, so it isn’t better environmentally.
I read somewhere that 500,000 KG of dirt and rock need to be mined, moved and processed to obtain the lithium and other materials needed to make one Tesla car battery.
[[some of it hydro powe]]
Some of it may be hydro produced, but it’s stored and delivered by products that took electricity or some forms of fossil fuels to produce
We can’t get away from fossil fuels- and who the heck would want to? The stone age sucked!
Good for him, the cars are fantastic. Well OK for maybe 200 miles if even that, but Wow! I want one to zip around town in. And I don't give a rip how much coal is dug out of the ground to supply the power to charge them up.
