And our production has fallen to near nothing.
That is an interesting and comprehensive article. Me thinks investors will be investing in companies that can recycle some of this stuff from old electronics.
I’m one of those evil EV drivers. I can tell you right now. As more people test drive these things it will get harder and harder to turn off the transition to EV’s. For many people driving needs they do pretty much everything better than an ICE. If the oil companies don’t find a way to shut down growth real quick there will be no turning off the tap. They’ll have to find another way to come up with the rare earth minerals, or use something else. :). Going to be an interesting decade.
Like hydrogen? Lol. Its hard to say that the car is selling itself through enginuity when most state's are mandating ICE cars and trucks be discontinued in the near future. My fear is that this may lead to other consequences that are unseen, like what to do with all the batteries when they are used up. I can easily see this turning into a bigger environmental hazzard then the ICE vehicals. Im all for green stuff if it works and turns out to atually be green. So far for me , the jury is out on this one. And it has nothing to do with where the volts come from.
What hazard, Bateries can be recycled
