China tries to follow us , only steals half the process .. there are the results.

Much like how Russia tried to operate nuke plants ... Chernobyl.

No different than you trying to be an American newsman .. all epic failures.

So they are funded by the oil industry so I'm sure it's all true ...right}

the video was not really telling the truth as it forgot to mention all the coal used to make all that stuff, coking coal is booming right now, thanks to all those materials that have a huge percentage of coal as a carbon source to create them, like solar panels.

**David - WI** · 04-27-2021, 09:38 AM

Unlike lead-acid batteries in fossil-fuel burning automobiles, electric vehicle batteries use lithium-ion batteries, which have to be dismantled. They contain hazardous materials, and if dismantled improperly, they can explode.

"Currently, globally, it's very hard to get detailed figures for what percentage of lithium-ion batteries are recycled, but the value everyone quotes is about 5%," Anderson said. "In some parts of the world it's considerably less."

I am more excited about the performance capabilities offered from electric then anything else. As we have discussed above, there is a long ways to go before it will be mainstream in the U.S. rural areas, but in many areas of the world 500 miles is more then they would ever use before making a charge stop. I am a person that has homes 1200 miles apart and take boats and trailers between them so 500 miles range (at conservative testing speeds and nothing in tow) does nothing to get my attention even though the H.P. and torque are very attractive.

Isn't it so nice that we are all willing to donate our money towards this research via Joe Biden's green team dream and offer companies this windfall income to work on their product rather then them having to do it the real way, which is "build a product good enough to draw a customer base on its own merit"--I thought the "cash for clunkers" cost citizens a lot for nothing. That was minor compared this project and Biden's green team spending plans. Everyone should have a warm and fuzzy feeling because YOU ARE donating money to develop electric vehicle technology in attempt to save something (they aren't really sure what they are attempting to save) but the guy writing checks out of your account has a plan.

Joe

**XstreamVking** · 04-27-2021, 12:30 PM

The only plan is to bankrupt the people and the small business sector thru taxes and inflation. Banks and big business will do fine and the govt will keep printing money and giving it away. That is unless we get another common sense President like Trump. I think batteries and such are the least of our problems. But they and other energy sources will continue to expand and improve with time. Right now, we burning dinosaurs.
