A massive fire broke out at a French industrial site used for recycling hybrid and electric car batteries on Saturday, sending thick clouds of smoke into the air.

“officials claimed that the cause of the fire has still not been determined”

Who do they think they’re fooling? It was obviously the covid vaccine.

Yup. All the Left thinks about are their pie-in-the-sky ideas. They give no thought to the logistics or the consequences.

Chy-Nah apparently still have coal seam fires creating more CO2 in a day than all of the US cars and light trucks do.

Gas plumes of hydrogen fluoride from lithium fires can’t be as bad as those French countryside cow farts.

Lithium batteries failing in a confined space can produce a vapor cloud explosion

“All that black smoke will help counteract global warming - yet another EV feature we hadn’t counted on!”

Yes. It will assist in the Bill Gates, and now the WH’s, “Sun Dimming” project.

What about the toxic compounds in all that smoke? Why don’t you hear about that?

Maybe they don’t want people know so they keep dutifully buying electric vehicles to save the planet.

Enviro-wackos don’t care about toxic batteries or the children poisoned mining the metals for them.

Most of those children are black or brown. According to the enviro-wackos they should have been aborted, for racial improvement reasons, of course! If they die from poisoning, it merely rights a mistake their mothers made when they failed to exercise their right to choose. That is, no big loss for the world.

Gotta love how the enviro-wackos think...

50 years ago we were all supposed to transition to metric. Watch them do it now that I am too old and grumpy to cooperate.
