Reply to comment by Telrom_1 in A lot of people probably have just bought or will soon buy their last gasoline vehicle. by Gnostic_Gnocchi

I’m actually not familiar with this concept. What is the trade off here?

The mining, usage and disposal of batteries creates a forever contamination of our water tables in the form of metals.

Most modern societies get their metal contamination from handling batteries. Making them bigger and more accessible will create an unprecedented environmental disaster. We have far less fresh water than we do atmosphere. EVs are just as bad if not worse for the environment than internal combustion vehicles.

Imagine thinking exhaust from a car is “killing our planet” while also being SUPER blasé’ about landfills piled to the moon with hazardous metal waste and plastic. I don’t even believe that you idiots know what comes out of your mouths. You’re all just used to repeating things you hear from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and becoming immediately opposed to anything that a Republican likes. The epitome of retardation….

Who still pays for cable? Anyways, it really doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong since neither of us are in a position for our opinions to change anything anyways. The world will go whatever direction the wealthy take it. For good or bad. Its really too bad some of you jump straight into name calling tho, but it makes you feel better I guess.

Meh, I guess when you make a comment like “battery bad, mkay,” like we’re all idiot cavemen grunting at a tv, you carry the burden of every other asshole that thinks they’re smarter than the guy who literally puts rockets in space. Greta Thunberg is your biggest climate ambassador and even she says nuclear energy is better than both gas and other form of renewable energy, but that doesn’t matter right now, because you’re focused on bashing Elon Musk because you can’t hide behind lies anymore…those of us who are sick of hearing make believe shit and are forced to play pretend with morons are pretty goddamn fed up. You’re probably a real cool dude, though.
