  • This is a Photo of the Tesla Model Y Lithium Battery.

    This photo below is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car. To manufacture it you need:

    --12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
    -- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
    -- 3 tons nickel ore
    -- 12 tons of copper ore
    You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
    -- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
    -- 30 pounds of nickel
    -- 48.5 pounds of manganese
    -- 15 pounds of cobalt
    To manufacture the battery also requires:
    -- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
    -- 112 pounds of graphite
    The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.

    The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.

    This is the 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:

    Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
    Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
    Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
    Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)

    It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.

    Let's not forget that if they catch fire, you cannot put the fire out because it burns so hot. The best you can do is get as far away from the fire as you can until it burns itself out.

    But by all means, get an electric car. Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.

  • Someone needs to educate me as to how we are going to produce all the batteries needed to facilitate a transition away from fossil fuels to battery-driven vehicles when the basic ingredients for batteries are all found in rare minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and zinc and others, all of which must be mined in countries not exactly friendly to us. Also, if you have ever driven on the Cross Bronx Expressway or the 405 in Southern California and were stuck in traffic, how exactly will the repair truck reach a disabled vehicle before their battery dies...along with the batteries of all the other vehicles in traffic? And what about the environmental issues associated with the manufacturing and final disposal of these batteries?....

  • This is a Tesla battery.
    The following must be used for production and approx. 250 tons of earth must be moved!
    12 kg of lithium
    22 kg of manganese
    7 kg of cobalt
    100 kg of copper
    200 kg of aluminum, steel and plastic.
    The Caterpillar 994A used for earthmoving consumes 1,000 liters of diesel in 12 hours.
    You finally get a "zero emission" car and don't forget, 86% of the energy produced to charge it is non-renewable!!! Only 14% is renewable, which means solar, wind, water and nuclear energy!
    Electric cars are the biggest money making scam and most polluting vehicles in history!

  • THIS IS WHAT THE GREEN NEW DEAL DOES TO THE PEOPLE AND TO THE LAND... WTFU
    These 40,000 people, including many children, are working in cobalt mines to provide a picture of building a green economy.

  • Alternative Energy Is Not The Answer, Part 2 - Pastor Roger Anghis
    https://newswithviews.com/alternative-energy-is-not-the-answer-part-2/

    It goes without saying that we have not found a good source of energy that can even come close to the effectiveness and reliability of fossil fuels with the exception of nuclear. With Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima we have had very little downside with nuclear. These three incidences do make me shy away from nuclear but the efficiency cannot be beat.

    Liberals are trying to shove EVs down our throats but there is so much that can and does go wrong with them not to mention the mining disaster they cause. Here are a few facts that advocates for the EV simply ignore. They are very important facts that negatively affect every state in the union.

    This informatization is directed to Californian multiply it by 49 and you can see the nightmare that it developing.

    EVs are powered by fossil fuels. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), fossil fuel-based power plants — coal, oil, or natural gas — create about 60% of the nation’s electrical grid, while nuclear power accounts for nearly 20%.
    The batteries of EVs rely on cobalt. An estimated 70% of the global supply of cobalt emanates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country with deplorable working conditions, especially for children.
    A study released earlier this year by an environmental group showed that nearly one-third of San Francisco’s electric charging stations were non-functioning. The population of San Francisco represents roughly two percent of California.
    Supporters of the California law admit there will be a 40% increase in demand for electricity, adding further strain to the grid and requiring increased costs for power and infrastructure.
    According to one researcher, the strain of adding an EV is similar to adding “1 or 2 air conditioners” to your home, except an EV requires power year-round.
    Today, 20 million American families, or one in six, have fallen behind on their electric bills, the highest amount ever.
    Utility companies will need to add $5,800 in upgrades for every new EV for the next eight years in order to compensate for the demand for power. All customers will shoulder this cost.
    The average price for an electric vehicle is currently $66,000, up more than 13% in just the last year, costing an average of $18,000 more than the average combustible engine. Meanwhile, the median household income is $67,521. For African American families, the average is $45,870, and for Hispanic households, $55,321.
    A 2022 study found that the majority of EV charging occurs at home, leaving those who live in multi-family dwellings (apartments) at a real disadvantage for charging.
    The same study also noted that many drivers charge their EVs overnight when solar power is less available on the grid.[1]

    Alternative Energy Is Not The Answer, Part 2
    Back in the ‘60s a guy developed a car that ran on hydrogen, water. Just a few days before he was going to release his findings he was killed and the government removed his test vehicle and all of his notes. Something happened to Tesla. Who’s trying to keep what from the public?
