2023 - the year for ICG, page-1625

it IS indeed a good question to ask @grubarura.

No media examination with an insane addiction to an unprogressive ideology as opposed to their self claimed progressive status. Meanwhile tonnes of ore dug up to filter the needs of a single EV.

The media poke the rest of us on sustainability but in reality the cause is unsustainable. The reason these dopes are green evangelists is because they studied journalism not “science”. Hence the often quoted “majority of climate scientists” say X Y & Z. We only paid for a handful of these alarmist gods 20 years ago before they sold their end of the world melodrama to governments. Swallowed the narrative & of course, the result is we now have whitecoats in unlimited numbers - a new industry living off the tit of us mug taxpayers. Be interesting to see the percentage that drive to their government funded labs in an EV !! Do they dispose of their batteries responsibly.? Do they buy an new EV as the “old new” EV has become redundant because of cost of, ummmm, a NEW battery!!

Correspondingly with all these underpowered batteries there is no media attention to end of useful life of a battery & long term afterlife of toxic landfill. (maybe re-phrase to say “useless life of a battery”)

Anyway the best thing about 2024 is that the growing numbers of Green Preachers are losing their congregations. Their audience is leaving. What goes around comes around.

apologies @grub. You did ask. Answer :-
heaps of lithium
heaps of copper,
heaps of cobalt,
heaps of Chinese graphite
renewables are not renewables. Exhaust the raw environment. A Short term life & Long term landfill.

if INCA can dig enough deep holes maybe we can fill them up with these said batteries & make income from WASTE fees. Pay some dividends too

been watching too much Ricky Gervais - have a productive New Year all.
