blood diamonds . . . now blood Teslas.
the truth about evs is that they are being used to destroy private transportation
so no they do not care
see bird chopping turbines
African mines are the modern equivalent of slave plantations…just out of sight and out of minds of the liberal western world that is focused on calling their indigenous governments “democracies”
“Does the American/Western European Left even know? Do they even care?”
Yes, they know EVERYTHING that we know. But no, they NEVER care, as long as their power is advanced. In this case, EVs are CRITICAL to ending the use of gasoline cars, which has been a goal of the Left from at least the 1950s (when they were just a bunch of university Leftists that everyone else chose to ignore, other than Senator McCarthy) - literally no other viable way to end gasoline cars - so Congo has to pay the price.
BUT, let’s see what ultimately results in Niger - if that coup is successful, then a similar anti-Western coup in Congo would not surprise me a bit and if we’re REALLY LUCKY, Congo will tell us to shove it, regarding Cobalt.
the data on Katanga and Copperbelt generally estimate the number of youth (under 18 years) at 40% of all workers in the region’s mines.

Sometimes or 40%, which is it?
all so some Liberal elite can drive his Telsa and tell the world that “their saving the planet to create a better world for children to grow up.....”
“Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries already power the majority of electric vehicles in the Chinese market”
“until recently automakers selling EVs here have eschewed them because car buyers wanted more range than they could reasonably deliver.”
I said that rhetorically. Of course I know why we don't. The same reason the Dims do their best to block us from drilling our own oil. They like us being dependent on others.
Drill baby drill. Mine baby mine.
“Artisanal miners” is up there on the hypocritical scale of euphemisms.
Is it true that the WH said the other day that after thinking it over, they’ve determined that asbestos isn’t really as bad an insulator in home construction as was originally thought.
I need help here. What’s the point on having batteries if there is no way to recharge them without using power generated from fossil fuel sources? I cannot reconcile that EV’s are being pushed and at the same time Americans are being told to turn down their air conditioners to save energy.
Strip mine The Congo, before Russia gets it all!
Thats what the upcoming African Wars will be all about.
