I will start with an article by From Ronniem on Yack Now He states;
This push for Electric vehicles will be the death of our kids. There is no plan to deal with the massive amounts of batteries these will produce. Trillions of them. Tons of batteries not batteries. The individual battery count will need to use numbers never used before.. there are 264 million cars registered in America. Billions of cars globally. This will be the end of clean water. The green new deal is anything but green. It’s a shortsighted nightmare that focuses on the short term reward. Solar panels are also toxic. 78 million metric tons of them by 2050 in the landfill??? That’s brilliant. We have to stop this green agenda. It’s going to end in the greatest ecological disaster mankind has ever created… we need to start hounding these green puppets about the waste.. daily. Media needs to call them out on it.. start asking the real questions these puppets can’t answer.
My Opinion;
The concerns stated by Ronniem are extremely valid. Something so obvious, but we have overlooked it because of the dedicated Propaganda dispensed by the Corporate Elitist Left and bolstered daily by the wholly owned MSM. Why haven't we even considered the negative side effects massively outweighing the minimal benefits touted by the Save The Planet Fools? Consider the facts of Electric Vehicles;
The batteries use highly toxic materials.
The batteries have a limited useful life and must be replaced and the used ones disposed of.
The used batteries will be disposed of in landfills where over time those toxic chemicals will leach out into the ground and contaminate the soil and groundwater. These materials include acid, lead, nickel, lithium, cadmium, alkaline, mercury and nickel metal hydride, Sodium nickel chloride, some even contain cobalt.
The Electricity to recharge all those batteries will take tons of coal burned in coal fired plants since the windmills and solar panels will not be able to produce all the electricity needed. Even nuclear plants will have to be reopened, but they have less toxic waste than Solar Cells do.
Another toxic problem is created by the toxic chemicals needed to produce the Solar Panels, their disposal, and the electricity they provide. The toxic chemicals in solar panels include; cadmium telluride, copper indium selenide, cadmium gallium (di)selenide, copper indium gallium (di)selenide, hexafluoroethane, lead, arsenic, and polyvinyl fluoride. Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants.
These are some but not all of the deadly drawbacks of the Alternate Energy Elitist Mavens and their Monopolies want to hide from the public. We need to see everything they have directed attention away from them so far. We need to closely look at every agenda the Left has proposed to see where else they have misdirected our attention for their profit and control. It's beginning to look like the Green Energy Aghenda is a well hidden plot to poison us and the planet in the long run.
