Electric Cars Bring Lithium Protests (middle east, military, economy, Nevada)

[Motion]

Has the Biden admin addressed this?

Nickel mining for car batteries is causing problems with deforestation in some countries like the Philippines.

Electric cars are a farce.

I bet the more we use and understand these green energy products, we will find that oil and gas is cheaper and safer.

Hopefully it won't be too late.

They actually said this about electric cars before - and electric cars died off in the early 1900s.

I'm actually concerned about these incidents.

Electric Bus Catches on Fire at CT Transit Bus Depot in Hamden

An electric bus caught on fire at a bus depot in Hamden on Saturday morning and three people were transported to the hospital to be evaluated.

Firefighters were called to the CT Transit Bus Depot on State Street after getting a report of an electric bus fire in the parking lot.

According to fire officials, lithium ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites.

With this type of fire, officials said they have to let it burn because it can’t be extinguished.

These vehicles with these lithium ion batteries just seem to randomly burst into flames – I suppose when they overheat.

Ha, wait until war breaks out again in the Middle East. Electric cars will be in bigger demand then.

Unfortunately, it’s highly unlikely it would matter to the war on fossil fuel folks.

Lol. The Fear Uncertainty and Doubt propaganda effects can be seen here.

Meanwhile in reality electric vehicles are none of the nonsense often claimed by folks here. It’s stunning levels of FUD.

I did not know northern Nevada can get that cold.

Military, tourism, and mining are the staples of Nevada's economy though. There has to be a way to extract without totally destroying the entire area right?

How harmful can lithium even be? It is an element. It has existed in nature this whole time.

They mining in the southern part of state already

Stripping earth is green, clean, renewable, sustainable.
