Just wanted to share to new green deal and all you Tesla people.
The top is a oil well, where 100% organic material is pumped out of the ground, taking up around 500 to 1000 square feet. Then flowlines safely carry the oil to refineries, as far as Chicago.
The bottom is just one of Teslas lithium supply mines where entire mountains are eliminated. Each mine usually consist of 35-40 797 cat haul trucks along with hundreds of other large equipment. Each 797 uses around half a million gallons of diesel a year. So with a inventory of just 35 the haul trucks alone are using 17.5 million gallons of fuel a year for just one lithium site.
So next time you are driving your electric car thinking you are saving the environment remember that it came at a cost of entire mountains, thousands of square miles of land and billions of gallons of oil and fuel. I get we need to save the planet but we are not there technologically yet and electric is not the answer.
